- During the press conference today, Health Director-General (DG) Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has shared:
- With less than a week before April 28—when asked about the status of the MCO—the Health D-G reiterated that it depends on the six criteria, which are set by WHO, but there might be a need to customise these criterias for the nation
- The first criteria is border control. “If we open up our borders, we risk getting imported cases.”
- The second criteria is movement control, which could affect local transmission. “Our guideline now is to stay at home, which helps break the chain.” The active cases are decreasing as well as the new cases reported in a day. “Currently it’s at a two-digit but we’re hoping that in one or two weeks, it’ll go down to a single digit. We have seen this happen in other countries.”
- It is the Prime Minister’s decision whether to extend the MCO or not
- The third criteria is to enhance our healthcare facilities. “The acceptable time for turnaround is 24 to 48 hours but we try to have it less than 24 hours. Also, this applies to the capacity of our COVID-19 hospitals such as the wards, ICUs and the staff”
- The fourth criteria is considering and protecting the vulnerable group such as the elderly, OKU and those with vulnerable diseases such as cancer patients who are receiving treatment
- The fifth is considering the “new norm” such as protecting our health, hand-washing, social distancing and putting a stop to large public gatherings—should the MCO be lifted
- The sixth criteria is community empowerment—empowering the community to protect the green zones and practise the “new norm”
- The Health Ministry will advise the Prime Minister about two to four days before April 28, when Phase 3 of the MCO is supposed to lift

- There have also been 3 new deaths
- During the press conference today, Health Director-General (DG) Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has shared:
- 18 of the 57 new cases reported today are imported cases
- No decision has been made as to whether MCO will end on April 28 or be extended. There are, however, six criterias to discuss in this regard. One of them is border control as it has been proven from the 95 Malaysians who returned from overseas that carried the virus—68 of them travelled back from Indonesia
- The other criteria is the capacity of the healthcare system—if the wards or ICU have sufficient space to accept a large influx of patients
- In addition, it is dependant on the public to practise the guidelines advised by the Health Ministry such as social distancing and frequent hand washing
