Malaysian Medical Association president Dr N. Ganabaskaran said the government via the Health Ministry has been prompt in updating the public with the latest Covid-19 information. “The ministry should also provide more regular updates on the number of Covid-19 tests being done at both public and private healthcare facilities,” he said.
“There should be warnings on the heavy penalties for not adhering to the SOPs for business owners, or the public will take the SOPs lightly. We have observed that the level of compliance to the SOPs have dropped,” he said. One dissenting voice is Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy chief executive officer Azrul Mohd Khalib, who said the government’s communications regarding Covid-19 has encountered a dilemma which many countries are currently facing.
