KUALA LUMPUR: Stabilising the Covid-19 situation in the country should be prioritised before a general election is held, says Khairy Jamaluddin. “We want to see in the next few months if the reopening results in an increase in Covid-19 infections. “An increase in Covid-19 cases is okay, but we do not want a hike in hospital admissions,” he said. “We do not know if we will have to deal with new Covid-19 variants but this is something the ministry is monitoring. I believe he will also hear the views of the Health Ministry on public health concerns,” he said.
