The Ministry of Health (MOH) has detected another new cluster involving a group of Malaysians returning from Indonesia.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the cluster involved 43 students who returned from Temboro via the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on April 16.

Temboro is one of the areas declared as a red zone in the Magetan region of Indonesia.

"Of the total, 34 people have been quarantined in the state of Malacca and nine in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.

"This shows that the government's action to take steps to quarantine and screen all Malaysians returning from overseas is appropriate.

"This is to ensure that the import cases do not infect the people of Malaysia," he said at a press conference here today.

Dr Noor Hisham explained this raised the total number of positive cases involving those who return from abroad to 65 cases.
