KUALA LUMPUR: Clean up operations are continuing at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) in Jalan Semarak here to ensure that the Adenovirus outbreak which broke out at the centre on March 4 is contained, said Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) management director Datuk Robiah Abd Ghani.
“RMP is giving serious attention to this outbreak and is working closely with the Health Ministry on the matter,” she said in a statement here yesterday.
She said trainees not affected were being allowed carry out recreational activities and that women trainees would be transferred to a new hostel once the clean up operation was completed.
Robiah, on behalf of Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, also conveyed condolences to the families of Insp Mohd Redzuan Ishak, 26, who died on Wednesday due to infection by the virus and Mohd Azizan Azirid, 21, who died two weeks ago due to the same reason.
Updating the latest status on the outbreak, Robiah said 26 Pulapol trainees were still warded at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) including a trainee constable and two women trainee inspectors who were receiving treatment in the intensive care unit. — Bernama
