KUALA LUMPUR: The Covid-19 standard operating procedure (SOP) will be updated during a Health Ministry meeting in the middle of this month, following the World Health Organisation’s announcement that the respiratory disease is no longer categorised as a global health emergency.

The review might include the removal of the face mask mandate on public transport, said Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
