KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 — Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the plateauing of new coronavirus disease infections reported daily indicated that the movement control order was paying off. He said this was complemented by the acceleration in daily Covid-19 recoveries that suggest Malaysia was firmly on the path to controlling the pandemic.
“This has succeeded in flattening the curve and our country is entering the recovery phase,” said Dr Noor Hisham during his daily Covid-19 briefing today. Dr Noor Hisham said the MCO has helped encouraged the social distancing needed to minimise Covid-19 among the local community.
