PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is set to be hit by a third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic if the people continue to be complacent about complying with the standard operating procedure (SOP), such as wearing face masks and practising social distancing, said Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.He said the increase in new clusters could cause a spike in cases if the outbreak is not properly controlled.

“(A Covid-19) pandemic? Probably yes, if Malaysians do not adhere to the SOP. Preventive measures are more important.
“The new clusters are like embers, and if we do not comply with the SOP, it’s like we are the fuel. So, when fuel mixes with embers it will cause a huge blaze, which means a sudden spike in cases,” he said at the Covid-19 media briefing, here, Monday.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
