Universiti Malaya’s Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman calls for consistent messaging and a science-led approach by the government.
Adeeba, who was recently inducted into the World Health Organization’s Science Council, said this was especially so in view of the recent surge of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia with the number of daily cases exceeding 2,000 for the past seven days. Quoting a paragraph from the NYT opinion piece, she said: “Without all this, India risks giving back the hard-won gains made through the nationwide lockdown a year ago.”On Sunday and Monday, India reported over 270,000 and 259,000 Covid-19 cases respectively. It was a massive surge from about 11,000 cases daily less than two months ago.
