‘War’ against Covid-19 intensifying with focus now on Klang Valley, says Health D-G | Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — The ‘war’ to curb the Covid-19 pandemic is intensifying and is now more concentrated in the Klang Valley due to its high population density and movement activities, says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

“These two weeks is to give us time, so that we can identify the areas involved, increase screenings as well detect cases among close contacts and reduce infections within the community. Dr Noor Hisham said he believed the Covid-19 virus could be controlled once the vaccination rates went up, with priority to be given to high-risk areas and sectors which are currently allowed to operate under Phase One of the movement control in the National Recovery Plan .

He said the positive outcome of the vaccination drive would become more apparent once at least 50 per cent of the population had been vaccinated.
