“We have an understanding with parties such as the Cambodian government, where if Covid-19 positive cases are detected from those flying in from Malaysia, they will contact us for further clarification,” he said during the tri-weekly press conference at the ministry’s complex here. “The 55 cases, although confirmed to be positive, do not involve Malaysian citizens as they were individuals coming from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia,” he clarified.

Dr Noor Hisham was also asked about the possibility of a third wave of infection occurring, which he did not discount if the public continues to be complacent in observing standard operating procedures
