Abstract

As a fourth coronavirus wave looms, it is crucial the government takes proactive steps to combat fake news and widespread mistrust over Covid-19 vaccine and booster shots. Alliance for Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said it is necessary to mitigate fear among people for better pandemic preparedness and control. "It is speculated that a spike in cases is a possible outcome of the recent political activity leading up to the Melaka election last Saturday. "Any increase will only be seen by or after the end of November as it takes at least 10 days before symptoms begin to show.
