PETALING JAYA: Apollo Food Holdings Bhd has temporarily stopped operations at its premises as of Dec 9, so as to enable the employees to undertake Covid-19 testing and the disinfection of premises to be carried out

Further, both of the group’s factories in Johor Bahru had received notices from the Health Ministry on Dec 11 to temporarily stop their operations until Dec 17 for the disinfection of premises or to help curb the spread of Covid-19.
