According to the popular preacher, who goes by Dr Maza on social media, he was informed about some of the Malaysian attendees have yet to go for the screening as they believe the coronavirus disease is from Allah and if they are infected it is His will, so they will just have to accept it.



"Some also argued that a mosque is a sacred place and they will be protected, fear nothing but Allah or that they will die a martyr and many other excuses," Dr Maza wrote on his Facebook page today.



He emphasised that the COVID-19 is a contagious disease and an infectious virus like this, coupled with being in close contact with others in mosques, can be extremely dangerous.



As such, he said that he is humbly urging all them who were at the religious gathering in KL to undergo health check-ups and screening to ensure the infection did not continue to spread.



Dr Maza added that it is unfair to burden the officials from the Ministry of Health who have been hunting down the KL tabligh assembly members to get them screened.
