PRIME Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday announced an additional allocation of RM160 million to be channelled to 26 hospitals to contain the second wave of the Covid-19 outbreak. Expressing his thanks and appreciation to doctors, nurses, medical officers and all those in the Health Ministry who have worked tirelessly for the past 90 days, Muhyiddin said the allocation could be used to buy medical and non-medical assets. Muhyiddin said he thanked the Health Ministry for its contributions and believed all Malaysians were equally grateful for its commitment to curbing the pandemic. He reminded Malaysians that the country would remain under the two-week Movement Control Order (MCO) that took effect on Wednesday. We do not want anyone being a victim to this dangerous virus, so it’s best to just stay at home,” said Muhyiddin.
