Full adherence to public health restrictions even with the vaccine

Feb 28, 2021

Everyone needs to continue abiding by Covid-19 SOP’s even though people have already started receiving the vaccine.



The Health Director-General says measures like border controls, testing and screening, as well as other health actions will also continue.

Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah also explained that any decision to lift inter-district and inter-state travel will depend on several factors, including daily number of Covid-19 cases and the infectivity rate of the virus.

This, as the number of Covid-19 recoveries once again exceeded new cases, with 3,320 patients discharged yesterday, compared to 2,364 new infections.
There were also 10 new fatalities, bringing the country’s overall death toll to 1,121.

Meanwhile, eight new Covid-19 clusters were reported yesterday…five in Johor and one each in Kelantan, Perak and Sarawak.

Seven out of the eight clusters were linked to workplaces.

The Federal Territories Ministry is considering providing free WiFi services at every People’s Housing Project scheme under DBKL.

Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa says this is so that students from the B40 group can follow online learning sessions.

However, he says the proposal needs to be carefully studied first, given the high cost involved.
