Watch out for ‘superspreading’ events, warn medical experts

PETALING JAYA: With the Johor polls set for Saturday as well as Ramadan and Hari Raya taking place over the next two months, health experts are cautioning that daily Covid-19 cases may reach the 50,000-mark.

Prof Dr Moy Foong Ming of Universiti Malaya’s Department of Social and Preventive Medicine said given the Omicron variant’s high infection rate and the vaccines not being entirely effective against infections, a record-breaking new number of cases is possible.
