KUALA LUMPUR – Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali will be undergoing mandatory quarantine at home until January 31 after a close contact tested positive for Covid-19.
All his events today, including a media conference that had been slated for 2.30pm, have been indefinitely postponed, said Zuki’s office in a statement.
In a Facebook post, Zuki said the close contact tested positive last Friday.
Following this, he said, the Health Ministry advised him to undergo self-isolation.
He added that his duties will not be affected.
“This situation will not interfere in civil service administrative matters, as I will continue to carry out my duties from home, including for meetings that I am chairing or attending.”
Zuki was supposed to conduct a press conference on the government’s management of the emergency, imposed to curb the spread of Covid-19, at 2.30pm. It was scheduled for a live broadcast on RTM and Bernama TV.
His office, in its statement, said the presser had to be postponed due to “unavoidable reasons”.
“A press statement will be released this evening pertaining to the emergency management.” – The Vibes, January 26, 2021
