They are classified under the “Baiduri Cluster” – after the index case was an individual who tested positive during a pre-operation screening on 7 October.
Currently the officer is being admitted to Sungai Buloh Hospital for treatment.
Saiful said other members are still waiting for their results from the District Health Officer.
This isn’t the first time that law enforcement has been affected by the coronavirus as PJ Police Chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal has to undergo a 14-day quarantine after coming into contact with a Covid-19-positive individual.
