PUTRAJAYA: A pregnant woman who tested positive for Covid-19 in Kelantan had travelled from a red zone area.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the woman tested positive when she went for a check-up at a health clinic in Kelantan.
He said the woman had travelled from Ampang, which is a red zone, to Kelantan, which is a green zone.
"The woman planned to give birth at her hometown," he said.
Dr Noor Hisham added the woman has been isolated and currently receiving treatment.
"(And) now, we are working on acute case detection as well as contact tracing."
He said an investigation is ongoing to find the source of infection.
Dr Noor Hisham also reminded the public to refrain from interstate travelling during the upcoming Hari Raya, which is expected to fall on Sunday.
"Seek immediate medical assistance at the nearest clinic or hospital for Covid-19 screening, should you have symptoms."
