KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia cannot afford, in the economic and welfare aspects, to implement a lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, says Khairy Jamaluddin. The Health Minister said on the other hand, the government's strategy to contain the pandemic was to implement mitigation strategies. "There is no doubt that China’s approach (to enforce a lockdown) has been effective. In his tweet, Khairy also attached a screenshot of a news report headlined "Yuzhou: Second Chinese city forced into Covid lockdown”. Meanwhile, Khary also expressed his full support for Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah to continue his duties as Health director-general.
