3 factors Putrajaya must consider before reopening economy - superadmin - 08-10-2021 PETALING JAYA: Putrajaya needs to consider several factors objectively before deciding to reopen economic sectors, after clusters in the manufacturing sector had led to a surge of Covid-19 cases in Selangor, a health think tank says. The Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy said the government must ask itself three things: Is the epidemic under control? Is the healthcare system able to cope with a resurgence of cases that may arise after the relaxing of measures and reopening of sectors? Is the public health surveillance system able to cope, detect, manage cases, and identify areas where there is a resurgence of cases? These three questions, Galen CEO Azrul Mohd Khalib said, could help determine whether restrictions can be released slowly or not at all. - More -
