In a joint statement, Datuk Mohd Hatta Ramli , Fahmi Fadzil and Anthony Loke said the easing of restrictions will help to bring back some degree of economic activity and also allow the rakyat to begin earning an income again. “The government via the Health Ministry has enough data and statistics, as well as distribution mapping of positive cases according to district, area and locality. Some districts or localities have never been affected by Covid-19 infections from the start, leaving them as green zones,” the council said in a statement.
