KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 14): Malaysian authorities lifted a month-long lockdown on dormitories housing Top Glove Corp workers on Monday, even as the firm reported the first death among its employees from Covid-19.

Last month, the government put in place strict movement controls and ordered Top Glove, the world's largest glove maker, to shut its factories in stages after more than 5,000 employees tested positive for Covid-19.
