2 test positive for Covid-19 at Bursa Malaysia

PETALING JAYA: Two staff members at Bursa Malaysia have tested positive for Covid-19, but the stock exchange will remain open.

In a statement, the company said there will be no disruption to the critical and support functions as its “business continuity management plan” will ensure smooth running of operations.

It said the health ministry had been informed and the two staff members were under home quarantine.

“Bursa Malaysia has carried out contact tracing and established the movements of the infected staff members.

​“In an immediate response, Bursa Malaysia staff who have had close contact with the affected staff members will be sent for testing and will work from home until their test results come back negative.

“As a further precaution, staff who have had indirect contact will also be working from home.

“Bursa Malaysia will provide the necessary support should they choose to be voluntarily tested.”

Deep cleaning and sanitation work are being carried out at the premises.

“Bursa Malaysia places the utmost priority on the health and well-being of our employees. We will continue to exercise the necessary precautionary measures that have been in practice since the start of the pandemic.

“We will continue to monitor the developments closely and provide updates as new information becomes available,” it said.
