Health D-G: MCO extension will be decided on April 10

BY YISWAREE PALANSMY

PUTRAJAYA, April 4 — The Health Ministry today said that it would decide if the movement control order needs a second extension, on April 10. “We have to base it on science and facts. April 10 is the latest available for us to make a decision whether we need to extend or not,” he said in a press conference at MOH headquarters here.

“So if we continue to test new patients, and then the test report is not out yet, there will be a backlog. So after 1pm, then we get the information for the next day, but on the same day we are also collecting, testing more patients so there will be some form of a backlog in that sense,” however, he said that MOH has increased lab capacity together with the private medical sector, to address the issue, at 43 labs currently.
