PETALING JAYA:
Padang Rengas MP Nazri Aziz has been discharged from the Raja Perempuan Zainab Hospital in Kota Bharu, Kelantan after recovering from Covid-19.

The former law minister told FMT that he was discharged at 5pm yesterday.

“I’m now undergoing an extra five days of quarantine at home,” he said in a text message.

Nazri tested positive for Covid-19 on Jan 18 after coming in contact with blogger Zaharin Mohd Yasin, who attended his press conference at Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur earlier this month.

He was among the group of politicians who have tested positive for the virus recently.

Others include minister in the prime minister’s department (economy) Mustapa Mohamed; women, family and community development minister Rina Harun; home minister Hamzah Zainudin; deputy communications and multimedia minister Zahidi Zainul Abidin; national unity minister Halimah Sadique; and Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
