PETALING JAYA - Individuals who have tested positive for Covid-19 can skip the queue at polling centres on Saturday as Malaysians vote for the 15th general election.

We want them to leave the polling station as soon as possible,” said Mr Khairy. Covid-19 individuals will also be following other polling protocols such as dipping their finger in indelible ink after voting, he said.

“Even though we get waves of infections from time to time, the Health Ministry has got it under control.
