Covid-19: Don’t cripple Health Ministry by blocking Act 342 amendments, says Khairy


SRI AMAN: Khairy Jamaluddin has urged all Members of Parliament to support the Bill to amend the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) as the amendments could strengthen the government's arsenal in the fight against Covid-19.

The Health Minister said he had briefed MPs on Monday (Nov 13) regarding the guidelines and conditions which needed to be fulfilled before the proposed enhanced penalties could be meted out for violation of Covid-19 prevention standard operating procedures (SOP).
