The outbreak in the region is the greatest crisis the healthcare system has faced in a generation.

| It has been just over two weeks since we have formed the Greater Klang Valley Special Task Force to deal with the huge Covid-19 outbreak in the region.

We have been working continually to put into place measures to contain the impact of the outbreak - saving lives is our priority.

2. Strengthen Covid-19 Assessment Centres by offering a virtual CAC for asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients and enhanced home monitoring management; 5. Acquiring and allocating funding for the purpose of procuring additional medical equipment and medication; and 1. At this time if you are in the Greater Klang Valley and have any symptoms of Covid-19 you should consider yourself as possibly infected and get tested;

4. Members of the public who think they have been exposed but are not identified as close contacts are encouraged to test at private health facilities; this may include doing a saliva-based self-test; As we encourage more self-testing and RTK-Ag use, we can expect the number of cases to rise in the next few days. Do not be alarmed by this; we need to identify as many cases as possible to reduce transmission in the community. As more of these positive cases and their contacts are isolated and quarantined, cases will start to gradually come down in the weeks to come. Once that happens, the testing will be restrategised to ensure effective detection of cases for isolation and monitoring.
