PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry will only declare the country free from Covid-19 if there are no new cases for a period of 28 days.
said 28 days is the ministry’s benchmark, as it corresponds to two Covid-19 incubation cycles.
“Using this as a benchmark, if the country has zero cases for 28 days straight, we can declare it Covid-19 free,” said Dr Noor Hisham at the ministry’s daily Covid-19 briefing here on Thursday . New Zealand was declared Covid-19 free after its final patient was discharged. The country had no new cases for 17 days and had one active case for a week.
