PUTRAJAYA: No Covid-19 outbreak has been detected during the current special Parliament sitting, says the Health Ministry.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the 56 positive cases found among MPs and officers were detected from screenings held before the start of the sitting.

“The positivity rate is 2.7%. Of the 56 positive cases, 39 are unvaccinated or have not completed their vaccination doses. Dr Noor Hisham said all the 56 individuals were not allowed to attend this Parliament sitting as they are under isolation and receiving treatment.“All four close contacts have not attended the sitting since the first day and they are under the ministry’s care," he added.

“This was to prevent an outbreak during the sitting and was proposed during a special meeting on the coordination of Dewan Rakyat at 8am on July 26,” he added.
