High time to spell out coherent exit strategy


WHILE I applaud the government for successfully flattening the curve of the Covid-19 infections in the country, I also think that it is losing the plot. Just as there was no proper strategy and planning in the initial days of the movement control order (MCO), the same appears to be the case with regards to an exit plan after the conditional MCO.

The bits of news surfacing each day from the press conferences are indeed very revealing of the fact that there is no bigger picture and strategy going forward. Rather, the plans appear to be a day-by-day reaction to issues that surfaced in previous days.
