PETALING JAYA: Although the country has managed to keep test positivity rates and infectivity rates from surging higher, health experts say that vaccinations and following SOP are still key in the country’s exit from the Covid-19 pandemic.
International Islamic University Malaysia epidemiologist Prof Dr Jamalludin Ab Rahman said it would take time to see dips in positivity rates from tightened Covid-19 restrictions.
“The current figures may have yet to show the actual value due to the usual delay in testing and the reporting of results.
“However, it could also indicate that the transmission rate is higher due to the new virus variant,” he said.
