MELAKA (Bernama): Candidates who test positive for Covid-19 will not be prevented from contesting in the Melaka state election, says Election Commission (EC) chairman Datuk Abdul Ghani Salleh.

However, he said candidates' nomination papers should be submitted within the allocated time through their proposer or seconder.

"This tent will be managed by Health Ministry and EC personnel. At the main entrance of the nomination centre, candidates' body temperatures will be checked and if the reading is above 37.5°C, they will be directed to the tent," said Abdul Ghani.
