The list of Covid-19 standard operating protocol (SOP) violations that gave rise to the number of cases from the Sivagangga cluster and forced parts of Kedah to go into a partial lockdown continues to grow.

This time, with a Malaysian participating in Hari Raya Aidiladha activities before revealing his link to the cluster.

Health Ministry Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the person made up one of two new Covid-19 cases recorded today.

The person was a patron at a restaurant owned by the index case of the Sivagangga cluster, who returned from India on July 13 but did not comply with a home quarantine order and spent time at his restaurant. The Sivagangga cluster was discovered on July 28.
