Specialists call for review of decision to allow gatherings


PETALING JAYA: A group of medical specialists have expressed concern over the decision to allow small gatherings under the conditional movement control order (MCO) during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri season.

While welcoming the extension of the MCO until June 9 to curb the spread of Covid-19, the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia (AMM) said it was “deeply disappointed” that small Hari Raya parties were still allowed.
