JOHOR BARU: People here are anxiously awaiting details following an announcement that the Covid-19 standard operating procedure would be revised.
“It’s unclear whether these revisions will relax the current SOP further or impose stricter measures. I hope it’s not the latter. “However, I welcome any move to loosen the existing SOP. I believe we have reached a point where we are comfortable living side by side with Covid-19.“We may do away with the home surveillance order or reduce the duration as the government sees fit,” he added.
“Even if it does, it is probably in terms of wearing face masks, which I have no problem with. I am in favour of such a move as it can also help prevent the spread of other diseases. “Although we have passed the pandemic phase, many are still taking the necessary precautions without being forced to do so.“I think it is best to leave things as they are unless necessary due to an extraordinary rise in the number of cases, which is not what we are seeing now,” she said.
