KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 — Casual contacts of Covid-19 will not see any change in their status on the MySejahtera, but they will be notified via the application, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

In a post on his Twitter page today, he said that those traced in contact with Covid-19 positive cases would only receive a notification informing them that there are casual contacts.

“Before this, when the MySJ trace/check-in detects anyone as a casual contact of a positive case, the status on their MySJ will change to yellow (for casual contact).

“Now there is no change in the colour (to yellow) anymore, but the person will receive a notification. For those who have symptoms, isolate yourself and do the self-test,” he said.

On Twitter, Khairy also uploaded a poster on measures to improve Covid-19 self-assessment, which comprises five stages, namely Test, Report, Isolate, Inform and Seek, and advice for the public to seek immediate treatment at health centres or the Covid-19 Assessment Centre should they have symptoms, like difficulty in breathing and high body temperature.
