PETALING JAYA: A two-pronged approach is essential to enable Malaysia to build a strong defence against the spread of the more virulent Delta strain of Covid-19.
The government has to ramp up the screening process to identify positive cases, and the people must strictly observe the standard operating procedures (SOP) as well as get vaccinated fast, according to Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Datuk Dr M. Subramaniam.
He expressed concern that while several cases of the new variant have been detected, efforts to screen a wider segment of the population for infection have yet to be done.
