Govt's firmness and seriousness in handling Omicron variant a relief to the Malaysian Family

THE detection of the latest Omicron Covid-19 variant in South Africa has sparked global concern, especially when this variant is reported to have an unusual number of mutations compared to the Delta variant and is capable of spreading rapidly with more than a thousand cases detected within a month.

Malaysians can breathe a sigh of relief when the Malaysian Health Ministry took swift action to impose travel restrictions from Malaysia to seven countries in Africa, namely South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
