Tracing Rina Harun's footsteps over the past 14 days

 

COVID-19 | Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rina Harun is the third minister to have tested positive for Covid-19.

Her announcement came one day after Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mustapa Mohamed revealed he was positive for the disease.

Both of them had attended last Wednesday's cabinet meeting and it is understood that all ministers present in that meeting had been told to get tested.

Aside from the cabinet meeting, Rina had attended various programmes in the last 14 days, in her capacity as a minister and a Bersatu leader.

Based on a check of Rina's social media, Malaysiakini compiled a list of programmes the minister attended within the last two weeks. 

The time period is because the Health Ministry's definition of close contacts involves those who have, within the last 14 days, been in direct contact or have interacted with a person who later tested positive for Covid-19.

This is due to the coronavirus having an incubation period of that long. 

The list of Rina's programmes is as follows:

Dec 29

• She met with the founders of Genius Aulad and Brainy Brunch at her office in the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry in Putrajaya.
