CCSA revamp no cureAfter nearly two years in existence, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) is eyeing a new role in combating the pandemic. He also noted the general state of emergency which was initially invoked in 2005 doesn't exactly fit the public health emergency that faces the country now. Instead, he mulled setting up a new body -- even larger than the CCSA -- without the emergency decree. While details remain unknown, the revised law means the Public Health Ministry will take the lead in containing the virus, instead of the CCSA which will be upgraded. But the reincarnation of the CCSA, like the emergency decree, could be a waste.
