PETALING JAYA: With record high cases of Covid-19 and a decision on the enhanced movement control order in the Klang Valley due today, the newly formed Greater Klang Valley Special Task Force has hit the ground running.
Task force chief Datuk Dr Chong Chee Kheong, who is the deputy director-general of Health (public health), said with Health Ministry joining hands with the military, the task force would be hands-on in providing relief to healthcare facilities in the targeted areas.
The “Greater Klang Valley” in this respect encompasses Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, southern Perak, northern Negri Sembilan and western Pahang.
Dr Chong points out that while the task force reports to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, it is empowered to make immediate decisions and has overriding power over the states.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 Damansara MP Tony Pua today criticised Health Minister Datuk Seri Adham Baba for his poor handling of the Covid-19 crisis.
In a statement this morning, Pua accused Dr Adham and the Ministry of Health (MoH) of reducing testing numbers in May in order to show a lower percentage of infections.
He pointed out how the weekly positivity rate in cases remained elevated throughout the movement control order (MCO) period with the lowest of 6.61 per cent achieved in the week of June 6 to 12.
