The Health director-general said the ministry is still investigating the infection source of patient zero, but pointed out that relatives of the people who first got infected mingled in close quarters with others in spaces that were too small to allow adequate physical distancing of the one-metre rule.
“This helped the widespread transmission of these clusters, although the case of the index and the exact cause of the infection is still under investigation,” he said in a news conference in Putrajaya. “Although there is no positive case of Covid-19 detected from the screening at the hospital, all family members who had gone with the index case to visit the patient were detected to be positive,” he said.
