JAYA: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has urged the government to mass test people in Covid-19 hot spots to prevent further spread of infections in the community.
It also urged the government to speed up vaccinating the population especially in Selangor where infections are the highest.
“The exponential surge in Covid-19 cases are a clear indication that SOP compliance is at a highly unsatisfactory level,” MMA president Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy
“The SOPs are indeed a high priority, however ‘hoping’ for improvements in compliance is not a good plan at this crucial time when cases of Covid-19 are spreading in the community at a much faster rate. We should not be waiting for cases to pop-up. We should be mass testing the community.
