Business as Usual at Bursa
Malaysia
We wish to inform that an additional staff member
at Bursa Malaysia Berhad ("Bursa Malaysia" or the "Exchange") has tested
positive for COVID-19. This brings the total number of positive COVID-19 cases
at the Exchange to three.
Detailed contact tracing and deep sanitization work
has been carried out at the Exchange. As per the Ministry of Health ("MOH")
guidelines, all Bursa Malaysia staff who have come into contact with the
positive case will self-quarantine and undergo medical screening to ensure they
are healthy before returning to work.
We are pleased to update that staff who were in
direct contact with the first two reported positive cases have all tested
negative for COVID-19.
We would also like to assure that the stock
exchange is operating as normal. There is no disruption to our critical and
support functions of the Exchange, and our Business Continuity Management plan
is in place to ensure the smooth functioning of our operations in the event of
such incidents.
We will continue to work closely with the
authorities to ensure that all applicable protocols are adhered to ensure the
health and wellbeing of our employees.
We will continue to monitor the developments
closely and provide updates as new information becomes available.
