PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has warned Malaysians not to be complacent as this would risk a new Covid-19 wave in the country.
The Health director-general said it was important for Malaysians to remain steadfast and ensure that the remaining phases of the movement control order become a success.
“But we did not see that peak, which means in the first two phases, we have successfully flattened the peak. The peak is behind us. “It is important for us to continue doing what we managed to achieve in phase one and phase two of the MCO, ” said Dr Noor Hisham at the ministry’s daily Covid-19 press conference here on Friday .
“The ministry will continue all measures, as well as intensify efforts to further reduce the number of cases through a targeted approach.
