PORT DICKSON – The Health Ministry is expected to announce the relaxation of several Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) on Wednesday, said its minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

“I have informed the prime minister (Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob) of MoH’s plans. I will make an announcement on Wednesday,” he told reporters today.
