The Ministry of Health (MoH) urges these participants to come forward to take the test, which will help the government’s efforts to contain the outbreak.

The 1,207 cases related to the tabligh cluster account for more than half of the country’s tally of 2,320 as of noon today.
“We need to find the 5,084 who we have not tested yet among the tabligh group. We hope that we can test them in time.
“We have their addresses and we can try to find them. Hopefully, they can come forward to do the testing,” Noor Hisham said.
