KUALA LUMPUR: The movement control order (MCO) should be extended for at least another two weeks or until new daily cases drop below 50, say health experts.
Third World Network senior researcher Dr Lim Chee Han said although the MCO had helped and the number of cases had not grown exponentially, he had not seen improvement.
“With limited resources and lack of discipline among some Malaysians, we need to extend it,” he said, adding that with the MCO, people would be reminded about what they needed to do. The antibody test, he added, was able to identify the extent of the Covid-19 spread in the community as well as asymptomatic cases as there was concern that 12% to 25% of Covid-19 patients had mild or no symptoms.
