KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 — The National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) will allow family members or guardians to visit residents at Narcotics Addiction Rehabilitation Centres (Puspen) nationwide in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations from May 9 to May 12.

AADK, in a statement today, said visitors must comply with the standard operating procedures set for the transition phase to endemic, including having been fully vaccinated.

“Each family or guardian must make an appointment with Puspen through telephone calls, SMS, WhatsApp application, letter or email to the relevant rehabilitation officers.

“This has been decided as an effort and measure by AADK to prevent the spread of Covid-19 infection among the residents,” the statement added.

It added that the visits are allowed for the families and residents to strengthen their relationships as well as to provide moral support, besides enabling the families to see for themselves the progress made by the residents.

“The public can contact Puspen for more information on the programme via the AADK Hotline at 03-8911 2233 or 019-626 2233 (WhatsApp) for advice or to make complaints regarding drug issues,” it said.
