Malaysia is not ready to take consideration of reactivating its Movement Control Order (MCO), which was in place during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad declared on Dec 18. This is instead of a latest surge in the number of infections in the nation, he revealed at a press conference at the Health Ministry’s headquarters in Putrajaya. Datuk Seri Dzulkefly revealed there had been problem about the increase in the number of cases in Malaysia.
But he showed hope that the nation could deal with the situation without resorting to the hindrances that were formerly put in place. “Currently, the situation is not leading to a burden on our health facilities,” Dr Dzulkefly said. “Do not be scared, but simultaneously, take precautionary measures. “Maintain your distance from one another, practise good hygiene, wear masks in indoor or crowded spaces and get booster shots, especially those in high-risk categories.” The Health Ministry has prepared a five-point strategy to deal with the recent increase in Covid-19 cases, Dr Dzulkefly added.
