At the time of writing, there are no details on how he contracted virus. His deputy, Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin had previously tested positive for COVID-19 in January and has recovered.

Last month, it was reported that Saifuddin had delayed his vaccination as he wished to receive the COVID-19 vaccine together with media practitioners. He also expressed his preference to receive the China-developed Sinovac vaccine to prove that it’s safe.
