There were 10,000 attendees at the Jhor Qudamak and Ulamak Malaysia 2020 at Sri Petaling Mosque from february 27th to March 2nd.

 

Most of the Thais were believed to have attended after coming from Thailand.

 

Advice about immediately going to hospitals for virus checks was given in an embassy letter. People still in Malaysia were told to contact the CPRC disease center and avoid going out in public and quarantine themselves. They were also advised to call a hotline.
