KJ: Covid will be treated as endemic, 'clear' SOPs introduced soon

 


The Health Ministry today announced that Covid-19 will be treated as endemic and the country will move away from the current total containment approach.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin told a press conference this evening that it is time for Malaysians to accept that Covid-19 is here to stay and learn to live with the virus.

He said new rules will be introduced by the government soon for people to return to their normal lifestyle while maintaining safety.

"The government will announce several steps to simplify the standard operating procedures (SOPs) that we have today so that we don't have too many complicated rules.

"There will be clear SOPs which can be easily understood and can be practiced together," he said.

According to him, the endemic phase would allow more sectors to be reopened and he expects this can happen by October when Malaysia reaches "herd immunity" against the coronavirus.
