KUALA LUMPUR – After two ministers tested positive for Covid-19, all cabinet members have been told to undergo testing, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said today.

Aside from testing, he said that they have been ordered to undergo a risk assessment with officials from the Putrajaya health office.

“The district health office will issue guidelines to each minister as and when is necessary,” Dr Adham was quoted as saying by the Malay Mail, after an event at the Ronald McDonald House in Hospital Tunku Azizah here.

This morning,  Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun was confirmed positive for Covid-19, following testing at Klinik Kesihatan Putrajaya last night.

Rina’s diagnosis comes after Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed announced that he tested positive for the coronavirus in Kota Baru on Saturday.

He has been admitted to Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital. – The Vibes, January 11, 2021
