Health director-general Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah urged the public to prepare for the worst in facing the current COVID-19 wave, following an exponential trend indicated by the COVID-19 graph in the country.

In his tweet, DG Hisham advised the public to stay at home and comply strictly with the SOPs that have been put in place by the government.

“We need to prepare for the worst. Please help us by staying at home. Only together, we can break the chain of infection,” he said. 

Neglecting the facts and data is not coming to help or giving all excuses not to stay at home. If you have urgent matter to attend/work, please comply to all SOPs.
