PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry’s efforts to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, including taking time to bring in the vaccines, are on course to show a positive outcome, says Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

Recalling that under the second movement control order, the number of cases had peaked at 5,738 at week four at the end of January, the Health Minister noted that at week seven now, the R0 has gone down to 0.9.
