Khairy: Operation Surge Capacity to be implemented in seven states facing spike in Covid-19 cases
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — Measures similar to Klang Valley’s Ops Surge Capacity will be done across seven more states currently experiencing a spike in Covid-19 infections along with slow vaccination rates, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
“An immediate effort that is of great urgency is to make sure the spread of Covid-19 in several of these states can be stopped as fast as possible. We will bring the same sense of focus and intensity seen under the Greater Klang Valley task force to a few states facing high infection rates. “This is to make sure the daily number of cases and the number of Malaysians who need to be hospitalised from experiencing serious symptoms of Covid-19, and also the number of deaths can be reduced in those states and across Malaysia,” he said during his first press conference since being appointed as health minister.
Explaining further, he said the approach taken in Labuan to ramp up vaccination rates and similarly for Ops Surge Capacity in the Klang Valley had proven that the strategy is successful.
