KUALA LUMPUR: The public is reminded not to be complacent and practise self -control even though the country is entering the transition to endemic phase from Friday (April 1).

       Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) said during the transition phase, the public would still need to wear the face mask and practise TRIIS (Test, Report, Isolate, Inform, Seek) to prevent and control the spread of Covid-19.

       To ensure protection against Covid-19, he said, the public is encouraged to take the Covid-19 vaccine.

       "Tomorrow, we will enter the transition to endemic phase. The Omicron wave is under control. The country’s Rt is 0.88. The public health system has enough capacity, but let’s not let our guard down,” he said on Twitter on Thursday (March 31).

       Earlier this month, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that the country would enter the transition to endemic phase, as well as the reopening of the country's borders from April 1. - Bernama
