However, these premises and locations had potential to turn into clusters if pre-emptive actions were not taken, he said.
“Premises listed under HIDE are different from the list of clusters issued each day by the Health director-general. Premises listed under HIDE do not need to close except when directed by the authorities.
“The listing of these locations and premises enables pre-emptive interventions and appropriate actions to be taken by the authorities, owners of premises and the public to prevent the emergence of new clusters,” he said in a statement today.

PUTRAJAYA: The allegations that the vaccination rate in the country is slow and low are not true as the vaccination jabs are done according to the supply delivery schedule, said National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
He said that the country had, so far, received a total of 1,938,660 doses of the Pfizer, Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines, of which 1,453,382 doses had been inoculated.
“So, this shows that the utilisation rate of vaccines received in the country is 75%.if it’s only 10%, then yes it’s slow. As such, this is not about the low vaccination rate and it’s not like we do not want to swiftly vaccinate the public, the issue is that the supply is sent according to schedule,” he said at a joint media conference with Health Minister Datuk Se
