PUTRAJAYA: Strict adherence to the Health Ministry’s standard operating procedure (SOP) during conditional movement control order (MCO) is crucial to prevent Covid-19 infection rates from increasing.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the success of the earlier phases of the MCO resulted in the Covid-19 “R0” value going down from 3.5 to 0.3.
“Lowering the value of R to less than one continuously will help to end an outbreak,” said Dr Noor Hisham at the ministry’s daily Covid-19 press conference here yesterday, where he showed a graph detailing the Covid-19 modelling by the National Institute of Health. The R0 value will also help the government to decide whether or not to open up more economic sectors, including barber shops.
