PETALING JAYA: The increase in Covid-19 cases involving the Omicron variant in the country is not a “conspiracy” to postpone the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations in May, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He added the Omicron wave was not only being faced by Malaysia, but a spike of cases was seen in other countries, including Europe as well.
