The Health Minister said members of the public continue to put on their masks outdoors, even though it is no longer mandatory from May 1, which will help the country successfully transition to endemicity."They also know that they have to isolate themselves if they have Covid-19 symptoms or when they are infected.

"Malaysians have the capability to make this transition to endemicity a success without the need to enforce laws or issue compounds. "This is in comparison to other countries where the attitude towards Covid-19 prevention measures appear more lax," said Khairy to reporters after launching a World Asthma Day event here on Thursday .

Khairy said that Malaysia's high vaccination rate had also ensured a lower hospitalisation rate and the number of cases with serious symptoms. "Vaccination helped us to avoid severe Covid-19. We can see that our hospitals are not overwhelmed, which means that we can also focus on other cases.Covid-19 infections saw a slight increase in the past week, but it has improved in the last two days, with the national infectivity rate currently down to an RT level of 0.91.

Says the guy who takes his mask off as soon as he's abroad. It would be interesting to find out who really profits from the billions of masks sold in Malaysia. Very interesting.

Khairykj or completely brainwashed by 2yrs of fear campaign. Let people take the masks off by choice and test your theory if you’re so confident… why have mandates in this case?
