CORONAVIRUS | DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang is again calling for an emergency Parliament session, this time to discuss how the country can prepare an exit plan for when the movement control order (MCO) ends.
He said the session can be held virtually, and is urgent as the Covid-19 pandemic is not just a health crisis but an economic one as well.
"Malaysia must develop its exit strategy, which must meet the purpose of ensuring that the Covid 19 virus, though not eliminated until the development of a vaccine, is sufficiently contained to allow the economic engine to restart and for lives to return to as much normalcy as possible," he said in a statement today.
The MCO is scheduled to end on April 14 but is subject to extension.
Lim (photo) mooted using the National Security Council and Health Ministry's division of the country in four coloured zones as a basis for easing the MCO.
The coloured zones are based on the number of Covid-19 infections in the country, with green representing 0, and red, the most severe, having more than 40 cases.
There are now 20 red zones in the country, and only four green zones.
Overall, there have been 3,963 cases of Covid-19 infections in the country with 63 deaths and 1,321 recoveries. - Mkini
