NagaCorp announced on Monday 01 March that the firm has voluntarily suspended operations after 11 of their staff tested positive for COVID-19.

According to the firm’s announcement, 3000 employees were tested by the Ministry of Health (MoH) on 27 February, and 11 were found positive.

The statement added that NagaCorp has thus far implemented adequate existing precautionary measures with a complete set of sanitisation processes. All employees and visitors of NagaWorld have mandatory mask wearing and are required to have their body temperatures checked before entering the property.
