THE voting process for Covid-19 patients went smoothly at all polling stations as at noon, caretaker health minister Khairy Jamaluddin said.

He said all the polling centres were assigned with at least one health worker each for the purpose.

“For example, at this polling centre (SK Section 7 Kota Damansara), I was informed that 10 electors with Covid-19 came to cast their vote. On arrival, they identified themselves as Covid-positive and were allowed to cast their vote straight away and then go home,” he said.

Khairy, who is the BN candidate for the Sungai Buloh parliamentary seat, told this to reporters after observing the voting process at SK Seksyen 7 Kota Damansara.

Prior to this, Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said individuals who are positive for the virus must comply with several guidelines to vote, including physical isolation and not allowed to ride public transport. – Bernama, November 19, 2022.
