Covid-19: Malaysia better prepared to deal with Omicron surge, says Khairy


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is seen as better prepared to deal with the surge in Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant and knows how to protect the most vulnerable, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said, in a tweet Tuesday (Feb 1), that the situation was not the same as seen in June to September, 2021, because the country is better protected now through vaccinations under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.
