PETALING JAYA: There is a high possibility of an Omicron wave starting in Malaysia, such as seen in other countries around the world currently, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said that extensive booster dose coverage, wearing face masks, good ventilation, implementing TRIIS (Test, Report, Isolate, Inform and Seek), activating the MySejahtera Trace system and international gateway control were among the measures to slow the transmission of the highly infectious Covid-19 variant.
