PUTRAJAYA: With the Hari Raya festivities just around the corner, the Health Ministry has warned of the risk of spreading Covid-19 if people travel interstate.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said at least 14% of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia, or 971 infections, had a history of interstate travel.

“Checks by the police on May 15 found that a total of 508 motorists had tried to cross interstate borders with the excuse of wanting to balik kampung. “The public must be more careful during the festive season because it may cause the spread of infections, especially in green zone areas.“When they had a festival and many returned to their hometowns, the number of infections spiked.”

He added that the blood plasma packs had not yet been used, but distributed in Kuala Lumpur and places in Sabah and Sarawak.
