“In general, even though we are entering the vaccination phase, the 3T approach must continue to be enforced as Penang is still recording three-digit cases daily,” he said. The Penang lawmaker attended the state special security committee meeting this morning in which the vaccination programme, which will be implemented in Penang this week, was discussed.
He said data from the state health department also revealed that as at February 21, North Seberang Perai and South Seberang Perai no longer have any red zones.
