: The Health Ministry will carry out a risk assessment of the Covid-19 infection situation in the middle of next month following the announcement by the World Health Organisation that the epidemic is no longer categorised as a global health emergency.

Although WHO no longer categorised Covid-19 as an international health emergency, she said, the ministry needs to take into account local factors. “We want to see the developments because there are still Covid-19 cases, but still under control. We will look at the situation in the country first before adopting WHO’s recommendations,” she told a press conference after attending a town hall session on the White Paper on Health for the Southern Zone at the Higher Education Hub, Pagoh here today.

Yesterday, foreign news agencies reported that the WHO has lifted the Public Health Emergency of International Concern status for Covid-19, but insists the disease continues to pose a global threat.
