KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama): Economists opine that the total lockdown announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin which would take effect from June 1 till June 14 is a measure that makes sense to cope with the soaring number of Covid-19 cases.

In this respect, they said another round of economic stimulus is highly likely to happen but to be targeted and time bound.
