Strategy to contain Covid-19 remains

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will maintain its current strategy of identifying Covid-19 cases even as scientists are increasingly finding that the disease can spread much more easily compared to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), though not having the same lethal effects.

Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said Malaysia will continue screening travellers at entry points, and quarantine them if they were found to have symptoms.
