SHAH ALAM (June 28): Only 5% to 10% of the total number of Covid-19 positive cases are from the manufacturing sector, Senior Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said. “Therefore, it is not true to put the blame on the economic sector, especially the manufacturing sector,” he told reporters after visiting the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) vaccination centre (PPV) here today. The SCCC vaccination centre under PIKAS that is managed by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) began vaccination for manufacturing sector workers in Selangor today. Meanwhile, Mohamed Azmin said the centre is one of eight public-use vaccination centres in the country with approval to operate latest by July 5. According to him, there are two types of vaccination centres under PIKAS, namely the public-use vaccination centres involving convention and exhibition centres as well as hotels and on-site vaccinations centres on the factory premises.
