KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 Umno’s Youth Wing is urging Putrajaya to reassess its decision not to implement a full movement control order (MCO).
In a report by Malay daily
Sinar Harian, its chief Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said that a full MCO is needed in order to stop the rising spread of Covid-19 infections across the country, adding that it is time for the government to put an end to the pandemic, instead of dragging it along with “half cooked” MCO protocols.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 With new and more aggressive variants of the Covid-19 virus in the country, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah today advised Malaysians to take additional safety measures when out in high risk public areas like a hospital.
“It is recommended to wear a double face mask and face shield in high risk places such as hospitals.
“In public places, there is no need for a double face mask, but it is mandatory to wear a face mask,” he said in a joint news conference with Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob this evening.
He said this was based on the existing number of MAF healthcare personnel. Although the MAF currently has three field hospitals, namely in Tawau, Sabah; Kapit, Sarawak; and Kepala Batas, Penang; we are capable of setting up two more field hospitals. Actually, the MAF can set up more field hospitals, but to do that, we will require additional staff, namely 30 doctors and 100 paramedics, ” he said at a virtual media conference after a working visit to Pharmaniaga LifeScience in Puchong here Sunday (May 23).
Ismail Sabri said that with the additional personnel, the MAF would be able to construct more field hospitals as well as add other health equipment and supplies for the management of Covid-19.
