It seems that the local government is making another mover for next month. It was proposed that my country will be in modified enhanced community quarantine (MGCQ). It means lowering the restrictions within the country despite the existence of two covid mutations and no vaccines have been administered. Any new updates in your country?

We will have updates next week, the restrictions "should" end at the end of February, we expect they will continue because of the mutations.

A few days back, our mayor gave a directive that checking of medical clearance will not be checked. The following day, he retracted his decision.

@LadyDuck I guess he realized that it is really a bad idea.

@Shavkat We still do not know, but I do not believe that we are going to reopen everything.

We ain't gonna let covid mutations get in here, at least we can reduce people's mobility.

It is a failure goal here. The local government failed to achieve this.

We start vaccinating on Monday I think. We're a bit behind the eight-ball in this regard.

@JudyEv We are waiting for what is the best one. If it is from China, we are not going to have it.

If it is late to administer there, how much more here. No vaccines had arrived here yet.

It seems that we still need to keep on adjusting while this virus is still lurking in our world.

I am glad that the virus is being controlled there. Did you have your vaccine now?

So modified is the second phase? Some of the states in Malaysia are in the second phase. Some are in the first. Only one state is in the third phase. Our cases still around 2K here.
