The Health Ministry’s decision allowing only its director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah to issue statements on the current influenza situation in the country was made to avoid causing panic among the public.
Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad denied that such decision was made to downplay matters involving the infection.
He said the ministry was working closely with the state governments, state health departments and relevant parties on cases involving influenza for a more integrated and coordinated approach on the matter.
