UKM, however, said it was aware that one of its undergraduate students and one of its lecturers have been identified by the Health Ministry as close contacts of a Covid-19 patient, adding that the duo were coincidentally part of a 40-member delegation to Indonesia organised by a Malaysian government-held company.

“All members of the delegation are indeed HEALTHY and do not have any symptoms of Covid-19 infection. They have been monitored closely by the MOH. They are allowed to return home and have been issued a quarantine order at home/residence until March 17, 2020,” UKM said in a statement signed off by its University Health Centre head Dr Mohd Azman Abas who is also secretary of the university’s Crisis Action Committee: Infectious Disease Category.

“The university hopes the campus community is NOT spreading any inaccurate news about the possible outbreak on campus,” UKM said, adding that all questions and feedback on Covid-19 should be directed to medical officers at the UKM University Health Centre.
