Malaysian Resorts World Genting says, several workers from the staff canteens tested positive for Covid-19 in early January. It did not disclose the number of employees that had tested positive.

The casino property – located at Genting Highlands, an upland area near Kuala Lumpur – remains open within its pandemic-period safe-operation standards.

“The affected workers were detected during our regular health and safety screening and were immediately isolated,” said on Thursday the website of Resorts World Genting.

“We have thoroughly sanitised and disinfected the staff canteens as well as any areas frequented by the workers. These canteens are not accessible to the public,” stated the announcement.

It added: “Contact tracing is in progress and for precaution, we have asked that some employees who have been to these canteens, be accommodated separately for a certain period. Meanwhile, we have reported the matter to the Ministry of Health and will work closely with the authority to address this.”
