KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 — Although Malaysia has earned international recognition for its fight against Covid-19, Malaysians should not let their guard down as the virus is still in the community, said Malaysian Medical Association president Prof Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy. “Although our country was recognised by WHO for our success in containing the pandemic, we cannot afford to enjoy and be careless; this the people have to understand - the virus is still in the community. It is not easy to overcome ,” he said when interviewed on Bernama TV here today.

“As you can see, the spread of infection is the same in hot or cold weather. It is a strong virus which mutates easily, so it depends on compliance of Malaysians with the SOP to reduce and subsequently end the threat of this virus,” he added.
