The Orang Asli couple who fled from a Covid-19 screening test at the Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital, Kelantan, on Feb 4, was found yesterday.
Kelantan police chief Shafien Mamat said the couple was located at about 5.30pm after personnel from the Laloh police station received information on their whereabouts from the Department of Orang Asli Development (Jakoa).
The couple was found in a hut near Sungai Sam, Gua Musang.
"They were cooperative with police and the Health Ministry. They were willing to be taken to the Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital for Covid-19 screening and thereafter be quarantined until the results are obtained," he said in a statement today.
Yesterday, Bernama reported an Orang Asli couple from Pos Tohoi, Gua Musang, fled when they were about to undergo a Covid-19 screening test on Thursday.
It is learned that the couple was required to undergo the screening test after their 25-day-old daughter tested positive for Covid-19.
