GEORGE TOWN – All permanent staff of the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) have completed their two-dose Covid-19 vaccination, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Special Functions) Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof.
He said a total of 12,000 APM personnel nationwide have been vaccinated so they can feel more confident when working in the field to curb spread of Covid-19.
“APM is made up of frontliners, and I have been told that those working on the front lines have received their two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine,” he said after attending a community empowerment briefing at the Penang APM headquarters here today.
Redzuan said the APM has always worked in line with the government’s aspirations, from the start of assignments at quarantine stations or “home surveillance centres”, to being given responsibility as Covid-19 Eradicating Agents (ABC-19) along with other front-line agencies.
Apart from that, Redzuan said through the APM, the government is also striving to further increase empowerment in every community to fight Covid-19.
“We need to ensure each community administration is able to implement observation, monitoring, compliance with standard operating procedures, and self-quarantine methods in their respective localities,” he added. – Bernama, August 7, 2021
