Health Minister: Decision on endemic phase of Covid-19 to be made after presentation to Cabinet

PUTRAJAYA: A decision on whether Malaysia will enter the endemic phase of Covid-19 will be made after the Health Ministry presents recommendations and standard operating procedures (SOP) to the Cabinet next week, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

Speaking to reporters after attending the Health Ministry’s monthly assembly here on Friday , the Health Minister said the review recommendations and SOP will take into account the World Health Organisation’s guidelines, the global Covid-19 situation, and the number of infections in the country.

Last May, the ministry announced the status of local areas of infection would remain unchanged for the time being even though the WHO had declared Covid-19 was no longer a public health emergency of international concern. Prior to this, the Ministry had extended the declaration of local areas of infection from Jan 1 to June 30.

On Thursday , Indonesian President Joko Widodo declared an end to the national emergency status of the Covid-19 pandemic.
