“We plan to carry out a massive disinfection exercise, especially covering the major roads, with the assistance of agencies like the Fire and Rescue Department.“At the moment, we are short of chemical supply. So, we welcome any quarters, among the public or the private sector, to provide the chemical and also personal protection equipment (PPE),” he told Bernama.
Robert, who heads the DBKK COVID-19 Disinfection Team, said details on the massive disinfection exercise, including the cost involved, are being discussed with the relevant quarters.
