PETALING JAYA: To avoid a potential surge in Covid-19 cases in the aftermath of the Melaka state polls, strict compliance with the standard operating procedure (SOP) is a must and hopefully no “surprise” new variants will show up, says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
Following the announcement by the Election Commission (EC) that Melaka will go to the polls on Nov 20 following the Oct 4 dissolution of the state legislative assembly, Dr Noor Hisham said the Health Ministry would observe the situation closely.
