PETALING JAYA: Selangor Task Force Covid-19 (STFC) chairman Dzulkefly Ahmad has sounded the alarm, saying that any further delay by the authorities to hire more frontliners will see the number of Covid-19 cases “skyrocketing”.
He said having more frontliners means faster testing and training, and the sooner the authorities did that, the better it would be to contain the spread of the pandemic.
“Selangor will suffer the most if we take it slow,” the former health minister said in a statement.

“Any further delay means we’ll only be tracking the virus reactively and watch transmissions skyrocket.”

SHAH ALAM (Bernama): The surge in Covid-19 cases in Selangor announced by the Health Ministry on Friday (Jan 29) was due to the backlog of cases from the screening at factories, prisons, clinics and private hospitals, that were not reported in real-time.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari in a statement on Saturday (Jan 30) said the backlog of cases was over the past 10 days. To overcome this problem, the Selangor Health Department (JKNS) will impose compounds on private clinics or hospitals that do not report positive cases directly on the same day through the Public Health Laboratory Information System (Simka), he said.
