IPOH: The controlled movement order announcement by the government should include isolation and control of movement in localities where community transmissions of Covid-19 have been identified, says Dr Lee Boon Chye.

The former deputy health minister said residents at the localities should not be allowed to leave their areas, unless health screening and body temperatures were ascertained to be normal.

“This step is important, as the possible ‘balik kampung’ movement between March 18 to March 31, has the potential to spread the virus to new destinations, especially in rural areas, ” said the Gopeng MP on his Facebook. He said people should always wash their hands, never touch their face, and never shake hands to prevent the spread of germs.

“In my 20-month experience as the deputy minister, it has been proven that the Health Ministry has a capable and professional team, despite operating with limited resources, ” he added.
