Restrictions may have been loosened too early, says health DG

Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says the social, sports and education sectors were opened up too early in mid-March.

PETALING JAYA: The government may have loosened lockdown restrictions too early, admits health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah. While the second movement control order in January helped to prevent the number of cases from climbing to over 10,000 a day, Noor Hisham noted that it had failed to bring the figures down to double or triple digits.

“This is because the social, sports and education sectors were opened up mid-March. Maybe at the time, pandemic fatigue had taken over and we saw a lack of SOP compliance,” he said in a press conference today.
