KUALA LUMPUR, March 11  -- The Ministry of Health (MOH) has denied that it issued a directive on the provision of voting channels in the Johor election for those who are COVID-19 positive as viral on social media.

MOH, in a posting on its official Facebook, urged the public to ignore the audio recording.

“Please ignore this audio recording and follow the instructions of the National Security Council (MKN) and Election Commission (EC),” said MOH.

The audio recording also claimed that vehicles belonging to MOH complete with personal protection equipment (PPE) would ferry positive COVID-19 patients to and from the polling centres.
