Implementation of separate voting lane and place for COVID-19 positive voters depends on EC, says Khairy

Health Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin, affirmed that the Health Ministry has suggested a separate lane and voting stations for Covid-19 positive patients to cast their votes during the 15th General Election (GE15).

“They will have to have a separate lane and place but that is our recommendation. The implementation depends on the Election Commission(EC),” added Khairy at the press conference after the CRM Trial Connect 2022 conference held today.
