BATU KAWAN – A staffer at Jambatan Kedua Sdn Bhd (JKSB), the concessionaire of Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge, has tested positive for Covid-19.

In a statement, JKSB said the employee, who works at the operations office here, was confirmed positive yesterday, and is now being treated at a government hospital.

The office is closed today and tomorrow for disinfection and deep sanitisation.

“We can confirm that the employee is not in a customer-facing role, and was last in the office on February 24,” said the statement.
