We're still in Phase 1 of National Recovery Plan, don't be confused - Ismail

 

Malaysia is still in Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan as none of the three "threshold value" indicators have been reached.

Senior Minister (Security) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the transition from phase to phase does not depend on specific dates but the indicators.

“There are still many who are confused and think we have moved on to Phase 2... it should be emphasised we are still in Phase 1.

"If we can reach the three threshold values in a short period of time, then the next phase transition will be implemented as soon as possible," he said in a statement today.

Therefore, he reminded everyone to adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the three indicators to be achieved in the near future.

The three indicators are:

1. Average daily Covid-19 cases of below 4,000
2. Rate of bed usage in intensive care units (ICUs) to be "moderate"
3. Fully vaccinated population (two doses) to reach 10 percent
