KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Oct 2020:
Mid Valley Megamall and The Gardens Mall are undergoing sanitisation and disinfection at all common areas as well as three outlets after an employee of a tenant tested positive for Covid-19.
Both the mall managements today confirmed a positive Covid-19 case involving an employee of London Sales Cosmetics Sdn Bhd, the company that operates Origani and Élévatione Time Stops in The Gardens and Surreal by Élévatione Time Stops in Mid Valley.
The employee informed her management at London Sales Cosmetics on Friday Oct 9 that one of her family members was exposed to the virus.
“She immediately isolated herself through self-quarantine and arrangements were made for her to take the Covid-19 test, which was confirmed positive on Saturday Oct 10. She did not exhibit any symptoms of Covid-19,” the mall managements said in a statement – adding they were informed of the positive test result today.
Immediately on confirmation of the case, they said the Ministry of Health has been informed and contact tracing has commenced.
“Sanitisation and disinfection of all three outlets under LSC as well as all common areas throughout the entire two malls are ongoing. The three outlets were closed immediately and will remain so until further notice,” the malls said.
“We would like to assure customers, tenants and visitors of The Gardens Mall and Mid Valley Megamall that their health and safety are of utmost importance.
