KUALA LUMPUR: The National Security Council (NSC) has held many discussions over the next steps to be taken in the battle against Covid-19 in light of the rising number of cases daily, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The Senior Minister (Security), when asked about Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah's proposal for a more targeted approach, said that the NSC special meeting had been discussing the matter since last Friday (Jan 1),
"We also discussed it during this morning's technical meeting as well as during the NSC special meeting chaired by the Prime Minister in the afternoon.
"We heard reports and proposals from various agencies including the Health Ministry.
"We are scrutinising every proposal so that everyone will accept it when the announcement is made," he said.
Ismail Sabri said he was aware that traders do not want their businesses or shops to be closed should SOPs be tightened further.
"That is why we are discussing every aspect in detail," he said.
