Health Ministry calls for masks again as Malaysia’s Covid-19 cases nearly double to 13,000 in a week
Dec 13 — The Ministry of Health (MoH) today appealed for all in the country to resume Covid-19 preventive measures after reported cases almost doubled in its latest report, just weeks before the year-end holidays and festivities.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Muhammad Radzi Abu Hassan advised the public to wear masks during gatherings with friends and family as the 49th Epidemiological Week (ME49) from December 3-9 revealed a concerning surge, with 12,757 reported cases compared to 6,796 cases in ME48.
Dr Radzi called for a greater sense of urgency and caution in taking preventive measures, especially with celebrations that would see an increase in travel and gatherings.
“MOH anticipates an increase in Covid-19 cases as individuals travel to celebrate Christmas and the New Year, coupled with the potential for the spread of the virus during the upcoming school holidays starting from December 16.
“Consequently, the MOH is appealing to the public to prioritise safety by wearing masks when venturing outside. This precautionary measure is emphasised to protect not only oneself but also family, neighbours, and close friends from the risk of Covid-19 infection,” he said in a statement.
