KUALA TERENGGANU - The Health Ministry will meet with the Election Commission (EC) to discuss the need to implement Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) on polling day.

Its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said that the ministry was satisfied with the compliance of party supporters with the SOPs so far, and hoped that all voters would do the same on polling day.

"If you have any symptoms, please wear a face mask when you come to the polling centre," she said after the announcement of the candidates contesting in the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election and Ladang state seat candidate at Kuala Terengganu City Council here today.

Dr Zaliha also said that all candidates from Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) had passed their health screening tests.

"We not only ensure that the candidate is credible to bring hope as set by the party and the unity government component, but the health aspect is also given priority before being nominated to compete," she said.

A total of 107 BN candidates and 138 PH candidates who are eligible to contest have passed the health screening process.

The meeting between the Health Ministry and the EC is expected to take place in the coming days.
