Covid-19: Hidden in our midst


On schedule: Coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Khairy Jamaluddin has given assurance that Malaysia can achieve herd immunity by the end of the year. But until then we need to be vigilant and adhere to the SOP.

THE prevalence of sporadic Covid-19 transmissions shows that there are a lot more undetected positive cases well hidden and widespread among the population. This means that Malaysians must be extra vigilant and take additional precautions as infections can appear from any and all places.

On Thursday, the Health Ministry reported 6,806 new cases, the highest since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.
