<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cThere probably are also those who use their \u2018expertise\u2019 to evade the police by travelling through plantation roads and so on, but you can’t deceive COVID-19,\u201d he told reporters after visiting the drive-thru vaccination centre (PPV) at the Jempol district office hall in Bandar Seri Jempol here today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ismail Sabri once again reminded the public not to take their chances and try to cross districts or states for the upcoming holidays, and instead take heed from the spike in COVID-19 cases currently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani in a statement last night said police will not accept documents from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) as a valid movement permit for the four-day period from July 18-21 for interstate travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said this was following the detection of an increased number of vehicles on the highways over the past few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri, who is also Defence Minister, said the ministry has yet to receive any application from the Health Ministry (MoH) for more field hospitals to be set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he added, the Defence Ministry was ready to build four more field hospitals to help contain the COVID-19 pandemic, this after the recruitment of 30 doctors and 100 healthcare workers on contract recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said so far there were six field hospitals established in Pokok Sena, Kedah; Tawau, Sabah; Kapit, Sarawak; Kepala Batas, Penang, Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor Bharu and Labuan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the programme today, Ismail Sabri said more drive-thru PPVs should be opened in other locations to accelerate the vaccination process in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
