: Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah praised the quick action taken by Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur’s cardiologist Datuk Dr Sanjiv Joshi who voluntarily distanced himself from the hospital, clinic and his family for 14 days.
“Dr Sanjiv was treating Case 29 who later tested positive for Covid-19. Dr Sanjiv then voluntarily distanced himself for 14 days, I hope those who came into close contact with him will emulate his self action to do what is right,“ he said. Dr Noor Hisham also advised the public to avoid Pantai and Bangsar areas over the next 10 days where Dr Sanjiv is in quarantine since one of his patients who was admitted in Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur caught the coranavirus from Case 24.
“All staff and patients who had been in contact with the student nurse have been traced and placed under quarantine. Preliminary Covid-19 tests on them have been negative and their condition will continue to be monitored,“ said the statement.
