KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Health (MoH) has denied the existence of a food poisoning outbreak linked to the safety of water supply in the Klang Valley.
A message regarding the matter went viral on WhatsApp yesterday.
In a statement today, Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry had confirmed the information contained in the message was untrue.
“Based on checks and verification, no increase in the occurrence of food poisoning has been reported. The occurrence of food poisoning cases is currently isolated and under control, and has nothing to do with water supply or water supply disruption,” he said.
“The MoH will continue to monitor the status of food poisoning cases,” he said, adding that the public should not worry and reject any information not verified by the ministry.
