PUTRAJAYA (April 22): The Ministry of Health will meet Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as early as this Friday to advise him on whether the Movement Control Order (MCO) should be lifted or continued.
MoH director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham said the ministry will present its latest findings on the Covid-19 situation in the country to the prime minister, and that the latter will then make the decision.
"Whether the MCO will be lifted or continued, we will advise the prime minister to make that decision. So, we will get the data and show it to [him] and it is his decision whether to extend or even to have a soft exit strategy on that," he told reporters today, during his daily press briefing on the country's coronavirus situation.
"Maybe two or three days or even four days before April 28, we will advise the prime minister based on the modelling, facts and figures that we have, and based on the advisory from the WHO (World Health Organization), and customise the advisory to our local needs," Noor Hisham added.
Initially scheduled to end on March 31, the MCO has been extended twice —first to April 14 and then to April 28.
