KANGAR – Four Perlis exco members are under home quarantine pending the results of their Covid-19 screening test, said Perlis Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man.
He said the four exco members had attended the Padang Besar Umno division delegates' meeting on January 3, which was also attended by Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin, who was confirmed positive for Covid-19 last Wednesday.
"The four exco members are Santan assemblyman Azizan Sulaiman, Beseri assemblyman Ruzaini Rais, Chuping assemblyman Asmaiza Ahmad and Mata Ayer assemblyman Siti Berenee Yahaya.
"They attended the meeting and, together with (Padang Besar MP) Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin, they voluntarily went for the Covid-19 screening and the results will be released either today or tomorrow,” he said after flagging off a Perlis disaster relief mission to Pahang here today.
Azlan also advised any individuals, including elected representatives, who have had close contact with the four exco members and Zahidi to contact the nearest health centre. – Bernama, January 15, 2021
