Selangor health director Dr Sha’ari Ngadiman said the CAC at the stadium, which would be able to accommodate more patients, would replace the one at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) hall in SS15.

“The CAC at MPSJ Hall only has a capacity for 500 patients a day, while the Malawati Stadium can accommodate up to 1,500 patients.

“The decision was made due to the increasing number of new cases in the Petaling district,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today.

He said the CAC at Malawati Stadium would operate from Monday to Saturday. It will be closed on Sundays.

At the CAC, Covid-19 patients will be assessed before they are sent to the hospital, the Covid-19 Quarantine and Treatment Centre in Serdang or ordered to undergo quarantine at home, he added.

Sha’ari said besides the one at Malawati Stadium, CACs are also operating in eight other districts — Klang, Kuala Selangor, Sabak Bernam, Gombak, Hulu Selangor, Hulu Langat, Sepang and Kuala Langat.

A visit to the Malawati Stadium found staff of the Petaling district health office, Shah Alam city council and the Civil Defence Department making preparations to ensure the CAC can operate smoothly from tomorrow.
