KANGAR – Indera Kayangan assemblyman Gan Ay Ling has tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday despite being fully vaccinated.

Gan said that she was infected after visiting a resident in her constituency on Sunday.

She advised those who have been in close contact with her over the past week to undergo Covid-19 tests.

Gan said that she received a call on Monday saying that the person she met had tested positive, prompting her to get tested.

“I immediately took the Covid-19 RT-PCR test at the Gial Health Clinic on the following day and the result came back positive.

“I was fully vaccinated on June 11. It’s unfortunate I tested positive.

“However, I am isolated and self-quarantined and have taken precautionary measures to break the pandemic chain. 

“I will abide by the advice and instructions of the Kangar Health Office to self-quarantine at home,” Gan said in a statement.

She added that her service centre will also be closed temporarily for sanitisation works.

Gan apologised to her office staff, friends and residents in the event they were infected by her. – The Vibes, August 12, 2021
