The Ministry of Health (MoH) will release details of the revised standard operating procedures (SOP) related to Covid-19 soon following the country’s transition to the phase of living with the pandemic.
Its minister, Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, said the revised SOP covers home surveillance order (HSO), use of face masks and the declaration of local areas of infection.
“As soon as we have the implementation date, the Director General of Health will release the details to the public.
“The details are technical. For example, the HSO was previously for five days, and the symptoms in MySejahtera needed to be updated. With the review, it may change.
“It is now an era where we start treating Covid-19 like other viruses, such as influenza. We used to move from a pandemic to an endemic. Now we want to get out of an endemic transition to living with the virus,” he told reporters after opening the ministry’s Nutrition Month Malaysia (NMM) 2024 with the theme “Change Mindset to Prevent Diet Related Diseases”, here today.
