Lazimnya sempena Hari Wesak, penganut ajaran Buddha akan mengunjungi kuil Buddha bersama-sama keluarga pada waktu pagi untuk upacara keagamaan. Walaupun perhimpunan secara besar-besaran dan aktiviti kunjung-mengunjungi tidak dibolehkan pada masa kini, namun begitu sambutan Hari Wesak pada kali ini masih boleh diraikan dengan norma dan kelaziman baharu.
Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB) masih perlu dipatuhi, pastikan jarak sosial selamat (social distancing) sekurang-kurangnya 1 meter dari orang lain dan tidak mengadakan atau menyertai sambutan secara beramai-ramai.

Punca jangkitan bagi kluster ini masih di dalam siasatan. Langkah-langkah pembendungan dan pencegahan seterusnya telah diambil seperti mengenalpasti dan menjalankan ujian saringan COVID-19 ke atas semua pekerja dan kontak rapat mereka.
Kesemua kes warganegara Nepal dalam kluster ini tinggal di kediaman yang sama di Cheras. Saringan COVID-19 telah dijalankan ke atas penghuni kediaman mereka, pengawal dan anggota keselamatan di pusat membeli-belah tersebut, dan juga pekerja pasaraya yang berkait rapat.

NASIHAT KESIHATAN BERKAITAN COVID-19
Para majikan pelbagai sektor ekonomi yang dibenarkan beroperasi perlulah patuh kepada syarat-syarat dan Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) yang ditetapkan oleh pihak berkuasa berdasarkan sektor masing-masing.
Tambahan pula, adalah amat penting bagi majikan dan semua pekerja supaya sentiasa ikut amalan yang betul di tempat kerja masing-masing seperti:
- Elakkan berada di kawasan yang sesak (crowded space);
- Elakkan berada di kawasan yang tertutup (confined space) secara beramai-ramai pada masa yang sama, seperti di ruang makan (pantry) di tempat kerja;
- Kekalkan jarak 1 meter ketika cakap bersemuka dengan orang lain (close conversation).
KKM akan terus memantau perkembangan kejadian jangkitan ini melalui maklumat yang diperolehi daripada pihak Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO). Orang ramai akan sentiasa dimaklumkan sebarang perkembangan terkini mengenainya. Begitu juga, KKM akan memastikan langkah pencegahan dan kawalan yang sewajarnya adalah dilaksanakan secara berterusan.
