“In addition, airway diseases including lung infections are usually reported more throughout the winter than during other seasons. This situation is worrying because most of the Covid-19 cases reported in Malaysia recently are imported cases who were infected abroad, although they were placed at quarantine centres upon entering Malaysia.

“Therefore, we need to continue and further strengthen international border controls. International border controls that are still in force should continue, and even need to be strengthened to ensure that the Covid-19 infection from abroad does not spread to Malaysia. The strict implementation of border controls truly requires the cooperation of various parties,” he said.
