JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 14 — Econsave Cash & Carry Sdn Bhd (Econsave) today denied that a positive COVID-19 patient had visited its branch at Taman Scientex as reported on social media.

“I have also checked with the Pasir Gudang Municipal Council (MPPG) and the Johor COVID-19 hotline where they also denied the message,” he told Bernama when contacted.
The people can contact the Econsave Taman Scientex management office at 07-2891562 for any inquiries.
