‘High jab rate will keep cases mild’


PETALING JAYA: While the current Omicron wave may see Malaysia’s Covid-19 figures surge up to 22,000 cases a day, the Health Ministry feels that these will mostly comprise mild infections.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this was due to Malaysia’s wide vaccination coverage, which would ensure that severity of Covid-19 infections remained low.
