KUALA LUMPUR: Should a surge in Covid-19 cases happen again, the present government should consider implementing a short and strict "circuit-breaker" to break the chain of infections, says Datuk Seri Najib Razak (BN-Pekan).
The former prime minister said the country could no longer afford to enforce a total lockdown similar to the second movement control order (MCO) in January and the lockdown in May as businesses were still reeling from financial repercussions of not being able to operate.
