Tests ongoing for mum who earlier tested negative for virus


PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry is still trying to ascertain whether the 36-year-old mother who tested positive for the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was a case of human-to-human transmission.

Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said it cannot be concluded yet whether the Chinese national had contracted the disease in Wuhan or while she tended to her two children at the Sungai Buloh Hospital.
