CHIEF Secretary to the Government Mohd Zuki Ali is in self-quarantine at home until January 31 after coming into contact with a person who tested positive for Covid-19 on January 22.

As a result, a press conference he was due to hold on the state of the emergency scheduled for this afternoon has been cancelled, but a media statement on the management of the emergency will be issued.

In a social media post today, Zuki said his situation would not interfere with the administration of the civil service.

“I will continue to carry out this trust by working from home for meetings that are scheduled to be chaired or attended by me,” he said. – Bernama, January 26, 2021.
