Khairy: Govt discussing new SOPs as Covid-19 becomes endemic in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — Steps are being taken by the government to prepare a set of new standard operating procedures to guide the public on living with Covid-19 as the virus becomes endemic, newly installed Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said today.
“There is an effort for us to accept that Covid-19 is endemic, meaning we have to accept reality that no matter how much we succeed in controlling the pandemic from the aspect of deaths and hospitalisation rates, we should be prepared to accept the reality that it will be endemic and we will have to live with this virus.
Khairy then stressed how transitioning towards treating Covid-19 as endemic is an approach that has to be adopted by the whole of society in maintaining the SOPs.
