The government has even declared a state of Emergency that is slated to last until August 1 to fight the pandemic.Dr Rohan S. Shanmuganathan said with the current situation in mind, it is likely that many are asymptomatic yet unaware of their condition, which means they are unwittingly infecting others too.

Kuala Lumpur and Selangor have registered the highest daily cases for several months on account of population density and factory clusters largely centred on workers’ domitories. He said the authorities will need to identify areas of weakness in their enforcement and educational efforts, and then strategise accordingly.

He also said there was a significant lack of police presence to enforce the rules during the current MCO in all states . “MMA urges the Health Ministry to revert to its earlier policy of tracing and testing all close contacts to reduce the possible spread of infections in the community. “We must continue with close contact tracing as much as possible, but also be mindful that not all cases will be identified and the majority of people will not have symptoms.

Follow Sunah SOP of islam Everything ll fine and Malaysia will look great again

We should now manage the states individually now that the interstate travel is banned. Maybe able to focus better n balance the economy. Selangor with huge cases needs to go into full lockdown for sure. Other states perhaps can b given a bit more time n c.

Finding how to strengthen quarantine SOPs ... using as many resources to enforce that including law enforcement and military. Regular Covid +ve patient condition monitoring at home & compliance.

Your health experts are bootlicking the Islamofascist Banana Republic Government of Muhyiddin Yassin and his agong and their running dogs. The only way to beat this pandemic is by rolling out the vaccines. Resign agong. You have failed to save Malaysian people's lives.

Only idiots don’t understand why? As simple as “Don’t Export Or Import” this virus 🦠!!! If this governance allows all this !!! proven they shall fail!!!
