PETALING JAYA: Covid-19 positive individuals will be able to skip the queue at the polling centres on Saturday (Nov 19), says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Khairy said that at the polling centre, they must first identify themselves to the Health Ministry personnel stationed there, said Khairy.

"So if you're in line on Saturday and see someone being escorted to the polling booth, know that it is a voter with public health considerations," Khairy added at a press conference at Hospital Sungai Buloh on Thursday .The Barisan Nasional candidate for the Sungai Buloh parliamentary seat said this was decided following a risk assessment to determine the safety of other voters on polling day.

Khairy also assured Malaysians that it is safe to go out and vote on Saturday as the Covid-19 situation in the country is under control.
