KJ: We may issue compounds if cases spike


KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is not ruling out the possibility re-enforcing the issuance of compound notices under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) if Covid-19 cases continue to rise in the country.

Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said members of the public had become increasingly complacent with the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP), especially wearing face masks in indoor areas.
