Finally, some Cheer


Jackie: ‘The doctors did another medical test on me yesterday (on Sunday) and I will know in the next few days about the results.’

KUALA LUMPUR: Hammer thrower Jackie Wong Siew Cheer, the first national athlete to be tested positive for Covid-19, is on the mend and in high spirits.

The 27-year-old is still warded at the Sibu General Hospital since March 16 and confined to his room. He is not allowed visitors but he can move around in his room and spends much of the day watching television.
