Dr Noor Hisham: Health Ministry taking targeted approach in screening family members of Covid-19 positive cases

Dr Noor Hisham said the targeted approach is more effective because the Ministry of Health already had information on individuals who needed to be screened. — Picture by Sayuti Zainudin

“We can detect, monitor and track down those who are exposed to positive cases. We have their names and we have ways to track them down. “It is not a red zone because it was not a focused area...the districts are mostly yellow zones. A red zone means having 40 cases and above,” he said. “We have closed down the school and we have screened and tested the students and sanitisation has been done in the location.

“What’s important is that we need information about their research, namely the third clinical phase in which the vaccine is tested on humans. We have to look at the effectiveness of the vaccine and if there are side effects.
