“Ye betul (that’s right),“ she said briefly in her WhatsApp message sent to Bernama.
Earlier, news on the Johor Amanah women’s wing chief being positive for Covid-19 after a few days having returned from Sabah had gone viral.

Efforts to identify all her close contacts were made by the Muar District Health Office and now, all have undergone screening tests and are waiting for their results.
