THE Ministry of Health (MOH) is still in discussion with the Election Commission (EC) to finalise the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the general election, according to Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

“Still in discussion, as the EC has requested feedback. There are some things that the EC can do, some things they may find difficult to do.

“Therefore, MOH will provide feedback within a day or two,” he said in Petaling Jaya today.

The Ministry of Health has previously recommended to the EC regarding several SOP that should be in place for a ‘Covid-19 safe election’, so that the members of the public are not to be affected by the presence of Covid-19 patients. – Bernama, October 28, 2022.
