As previously announced, the Government will step up comprehensive enforcement in terms of inspections at factories and business premises due to too many violations of gazetted government directives and SOPs.

Cumulatively, the Compliance Operations Task Force team has conducted 98,376 COVID-19 inspections and snap checks nationwide with a total strength of 20,701 members.

The implementation of the Selangor Vaccination Programme (Selvax) by the state government along with additional doses provided by the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply will lead to a projected vaccination rate of 165,000 by August, said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

He said once the programme begins, Selangor is expected to see 135,000 doses administered by the end of July.

“With the Selvax programme, we target an addition to the vaccination capacity reaching 43,500 doses a day,” Amirudin said during a special live-stream presentation.

This will be accomplished through 26 locations which include vaccination centres (PPV) community halls, mobile PPVs, health clinics, and private hospitals around Klang Valley.

Hoarding of Covid-19 vaccines has been a theme in the public debate in Malaysia in recent days, and in this context, the European Union (EU) has been mentioned.

We – 15 Ambassadors of the EU and its Member States in Malaysia - recognise the actions and efforts that Malaysia is not sparing in order to contain the pandemic.

We wish to share facts and precise figures about what the EU is doing regarding the global vaccination gap, including some observations about the very important cooperation with our Malaysian partners.
