SEREMBAN: A health emergency would have been more appropriate to control the Covid-19 outbreak, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan(pic).

The Umno deputy president said that although the party acknowledged the fact that the state of Emergency declared on Tuesday (Jan 12) was to control the outbreak, the Government should have declared a health emergency and specific ordinances to effectively fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
