MIRI: A two-year-old girl from Brunei tested positive for Covid-19 after she came in contact with a Covid-19 patient who went to an event at a Seri Petaling mosque in Kuala Lumpur recently.
The girl - the youngest Covid-19 case in the region - is among 12 new Covid-19 cases recorded in Brunei Friday .
"The girl was not at the event and did not travel out of Brunei but is related to one of the Covid-19 patients who went for the gathering," said the ministry."A total of 19 of these cases so far are linked to the religious event. The first case was that of a 53-year-old Brunei pensioner who went to the religious event using a flight via Miri. He then came back to Miri and went on a shopping spree before returning to Brunei by land.
It is not yet ascertained if he had been infected with Covid-19 before he went to the religious event or was infected there before bringing back the virus to Brunei.
