The Health Ministry in Malaysia says it is keeping a careful eye on reports that Singapore has discovered two cases of the novel Covid-19 variant Omicron.
Additional testing to detect the existence of the new variety, in addition to arrival and pre-departure testing, will be increased, according to Health Director-General Noor Hisham Abdullah.
“We are monitoring the situation closely and increasing the additional testing as announced. “For those who are high-risk, we will do the genomic sequencing test,” Tan Sri Noor Hisham said when contacted on Thursday (Dec 2).
