Episode: Covid-19 (Part 1) - 'Public Health, Not National Security Crisis'
Description: As of Monday, Putrajaya is no longer allowing entry into Malaysia, for long-term pass holders from 23 notions that have recorded more than a hundred and fifty thousand Covid-19 cases. The other recent development might reveal a potential blind spot in our management of the pandemic, is the emergence of yet another cluster at a detention centre in Lahad Datu. Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO of Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy about how this policy initiative and the Benteng LD Cluster reflects on the government’s public health response.
