"Risk assessment will continue to be carried out. For now, we know a dose of the booster shot is needed... Most important is our response based on the new data. This is what is meant by an evidence-based response," he said. The Health Ministry wants to avoid the health system from crippling through a strategy to slow down the Omicron variant, he added.
Hence the wide booster dose coverage; wearing of face mask; good ventilation; practise TRIIS or Test, Report, Isolate, Inform, Seek; using MySJ Trace and international gateway control are among the measures to slow the spread of Omicron, he added.
