PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The 'Greater Klang Valley' special task force was established with the aim at strengthening health system preparedness in the Klang Valley in managing the Covid-19 pandemic.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said its role was to address the current situation, especially the desperate need for beds and manpower in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
"The task force has been set up by the Health Ministry to look at a wider scope, we call the 'Greater Klang Valley'. It is a pandemic frontier.
"Although it is called 'Greater Klang Valley', we will also include south Perak, west Pahang and northern part of Negri Sembilan where there is a unified command centre," he told a special press conference on the Health Ministry preparedness strategies to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic in the Klang Valley, here on Saturday (July 10).
