PETALING JAYA: The nation’s top policeman, Abdul Hamid Bador, undergoes a 14-day self-quarantine after a minister attending a special meeting on Saturday tested positive for Covid-19.
Hamid, who is an inspector general of police, was at the meeting to discuss the pandemic. However, he said he was “never physically close to the minister.”
“So KKM categorized me as a ‘distant contact’,” he said, referring to the Ministry of Health. Hamid also said he had a swab test today, but it came back “negative.”
Tonight, the Minister of the Prime Minister’s Department, Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, revealed that he contracted the virus.
Zulkifli, who is in charge of religious affairs, is being treated at the hospital.
Since then, the Health Ministry has advised those who attended the gathering over the weekend to self-quarantine until October 16.
Since then, the Health Ministry has identified those who came into close contact with Zulkifli and issued a home surveillance order requiring them to self-quarantine for 14 days and wear a bracelet.
Others who must undergo a self-quarantine include Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
