Who else got a deja vu with KKM’s 4pm press conference on Covid-19? Newly appointed health minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad called for a PC today to discuss about the recent surge in Covid-19 cases in Malaysia, which just concluded.
Of late, everyone seems to either have contracted Covid or have been in close contact with people who are positive, and the official figures reflect the surge. According to Dr Dzul, the most recent epidemiological week, saw a 62.2% surge in Covid cases, with 28 deaths. 151 people are in ICUs nationwide and 96 require breathing assistance.
But despite the big surge, the Kuala Selangor MP says that the situation is in control and the government is not considering the reintroduction of the movement control order (MCO), a stay-at-home order a.k.a. lockdown that characterised the Covid pandemic. Those who were fearing MCO, you can now breathe easy.
Also, for now, there’s no new mask mandate or the implementation of MySejahtera scanning – remember that? However, Dr Dzul did advice the public to wear masks in crowded areas and maintain high levels of hygiene – basically, employ the precautions and habits that we learned during that period.

no mco then don cakap so much yea
do we need to wear mask now?
Front Door govt
Don’t need MCO
When he was a failed Health Minister under PH1.0 he allowed Covid to enter Msia. Now he returns to repeat his failures.
U were wrong.The DG under PN allowed sabahans to come to peninsula Msia.He said memantau…that’s how Delta spreads
Betull. Si Yiddin geng PN bangang tuee mne reti apa2… Sakau Songlap no. 1
Yes it is because PH1.0 did not do MCO that allowed Covid to came into our country. It took PN years and 2 MCO to try stop Covid infections but it was too late. Now PH2.0 is repeating the same mistake as PH1.0 when cases here are still manageable, Sinkie cases are in the tens of thousands daily yet not going to close that border.
This spineless PH Gomen just cannot offend their paymaster & overlord.
Jauh lebih Bijak dlm menangani wabak COVID berbanding pnpas 33bulan…
Anwar menang, covid turun
Covid is endemic, meaning it’s here to stay, for life.
There is absolutely no reason for MCO to make a comeback.
Vaccination rate is high enough and subsequent exposure to the virus in fact boosts our immune response.
We have specific antivirals already.
YB Health Minister and all health authorities should be explaining that things are different and calming everyone down. I repeat, we are dealing with an endemic disease which is everywhere.
No talk of MCO please
Useless talk… not convincing at all… wasting time…. no action. Recommend people to wear mask but none of them wear mask. This government is known as “not walk the talk”. Only reporter wear mask. Rakyat jaga Rakyat…
If implement… I guess tourist will just avoid here.
Too much hassle with MCO rules and restrictions.
Bacause govt cannot afford
No work, No business, govt no income to feed Rakyat
No MCO please. Just wear mask and get the latest vaccination.
Yeah because that stops the virus lool
No plan for MCO, then what’s the plan?
No this no that… no plan.
