KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 — The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) has shown early positive developments with a drop in infections in categories three to five in six states, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The prime minister said data from the Health Ministry (MoH) showed that more than 40 per cent of the adult population aged 18 and above in these states — Federal Territory of Labuan, Sarawak, Negri Sembilan, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya — had been fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
“Yesterday, no new Covid-19 cases were reported in Labuan for the first time.
“Data on hospitals issued by the Crisis Preparedness Response Centre (CPRC) shows that the situation at Emergency Departments in the Klang Valley has also improved,” he said in a statement today.
He said that on average, the number of patients waiting at the Emergency Department for admission to wards of MoH hospitals in Klang Valley states had also dropped. — Bernama
