KUALA LUMPUR: The focus of the government to curb the spread of Covid-19 pandemic is beginning to see its benefits as a result of the cooperation of all parties as well as the implementation of effective strategies, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic).

       The Prime Minister said the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme to date has succeeded in dispensing vaccines to more than 95 per cent of the adult population and more than 66 per cent of the adolescent population as at Nov 2, which is a game changer and catalyst to revive the economy with the opening of all economic and social sectors including interstate movements.

       Apart from that, he said the number of daily Covid-19 infections has also been successfully brought down to the relief of the people and frontliners.

       "Generally, from the psychology aspect, the people are more positive after being able to restart their daily lives.

       "Nonetheless, the government will continue to monitor the current pandemic development and is prepared to introduce certain measures to protect the people and the country’s economy,” he said when speaking at the 2021 Official Birthday Celebration Ceremony of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara here on Saturday (Nov 13).
