JOHOR BARU – Parit Yaani state assemblyman Aminolhuda Hassan, who is also Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, has tested positive for Covid-19.

He said he had been having fever for the past four days and decided to go for a swab test at a private clinic here today. The result was positive.

"The doctor contacted the hospital and was told there were no empty beds to receive patients. So, for now, I have to quarantine at home," he said.

Aminolhuda, who is also Johor Amanah chairman, said he did not know how he contracted the virus.

In sharing his predicament on Facebook, he urged anyone who had come into contact with him in the last few days to take a Covid-19 test.

"I apologise to all. Please also pray that God will make it easier and speed up my recovery.” – Bernama, January 12, 2021
