We all know of the UMNO Supreme Council Member who tested positive for Covid-19 after he was campaigning in Sabah.
On 23 September, it was found that another UMNO member who was campaigning in Sabah tested positive for Covid-19.
The UMNO Info Chief by the name of Shahril Hamdan took to Twitter to tell everyone of his Covid-19 results.
In the tweet he says,
“Covid +. I have no obvious symptoms other than a little fatigue. I have decided to do the Covid test on 22 September after cases spiked in Sabah where I had been campaigning. I just received the call and I will be admitted today.”
He then apologised,
“I’m sorry for the inconvenience that this will cause to the people who were in contact with me.”
Covid+. No obvious symptoms melainkan penat sikit. Decided to test yesterday in KL for prudence after case spikes as I had been campaigning in Sabah. Just received call & will be taken in today. Am sorry for the inconvenience this will cause people who came into contact.
