Instead of focusing on the number of cases, the NRC has proposed changing the threshold indicators to ICU capacity or even deaths.

NRP coordinating minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said there were examples of a significant drop in hospital and intensive care unit admissions in countries such as the United Kingdom where vaccination rates were around 40%, indicating that the number of serious cases dropped as more people get vaccinated.

"The NRP is dynamic. If there is a drop in cases and most infections are not serious, then the daily number of cases is not the correct indication for progression in the plan anymore," he said in an interview on Agenda Awani on Friday .

Tengku Zafrul says threshold indicator for new cases may be altered | The Malaysian InsightRecovery plan coordinating minister says proposal raised to NSC to change value to severity of cases, or death rate. Hopefully it won’t be like reducing the passing marks in our school exams. Finance Minister talking about Health Ministry matter pula 😓 Since Malaysia don't have experience in handling pandemic situations, all safety measures the Rakyat is facing now is basically by trial & error.
