KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s delay in using big data and artificial intelligence to predict future Covid-19 infections has caused a rise in numbers, former health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad said today.
“As long as the health ministry does not use digitalisation, we will always be playing catch up with the virus,” he added.According to Dzulkefly, Putrajaya should have been proactive by using big data and artificial intelligence to predict future cases. However, Dzulkefly said HIDE should be able to go to the smallest geographical unit to target hotspots as locking down districts may still not be good enough.
He also questioned why Kuala Lumpur which has 225 cases for every 100,000 people was not placed under MCO, comparing it with Selangor which has 159 cases for every 100,000 people. The general practitioner gave New Zealand and Singapore as examples, saying they had controlled the infections successfully.
