The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) today ordered the immediate closure of a surau and a religious school in Section 23 Shah Alam after it was found that a worshipper at the surau had been in close contact with a Covid-19-positive individual of the Sivagangga cluster in Kedah.

Jais director Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad said the Surau Al-Jannah and the nearby Sekolah Kafa Al-Jannah will only be allowed to operate again after Jais gives the word.
