Perjumpaan pertama telah diadakan hari ini untuk Special Task Force Covid-19 di peringkat negeri Johor. Turut hadir bersama YAB Dato’ Haji Hasni bin Mohammad, Menteri Besar Johor, YB Dato’ Haji Azmi bin Rohani, Setiausaha Kerajaan Johor, YB Dato’ Haji Mohd Noh Bin Ibrahim, Timbalan Setiausaha Kerajaan Johor (Pengurusan), YB Tuan Vidyananthan A/L Ramanadhan, EXCO Kesihatan dan Alam Sekitar, YB Dato’ Dr. Aman bin Rabu, Pengarah Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Johor dan pakar-pakar kesihatan dan pengurusan pandemik.
Special Task Force Covid-19 berperanan untuk memantau dan memperbaiki proses yang digunakan bagi sistem menyaring, mengasingkan, mengawasi, dan merawat pesakit Covid-19 agar keadaan wabak adalah sentiasa dalam kawalan. Pengesanan kontak perlu dipercepatkan supaya ia dilakukan dalam jangka masa 24 hingga 48 jam, dan kadar vaksinasi juga perlu dipertingkatkan.
Johor perlu bersedia untuk transisi dari situasi pandemik kepada endemik. Saya yakin dengan para anggota Task Force ini yang dipilih secara inklusif dan melibatkan pelbagai agensi kerajaan, pakar-pakar dari universiti, swasta, ATM, dan NGO, Johor akan dapat melawan wabak Covid-19 dengan lebih berkesan dan kes positif akan mula menurun melalui langkah kesihatan awam yang efektif dan penggunaan teknologi terkini.

The Covid-19 Special Task Force will monitor and improve processes used for the screening, isolating, monitoring and treating system of Covid-19 patients to ensure the outbreak's situation is always under control. Contact tracing needs to be accelerated so that it is done within 24 to 48 hours, and vaccination rates must also be increased.
Johor needs to be prepared for the transition from a pandemic to an endemic. I am confident that the selected members of this Task Force, which are inclusive and involving various government agencies, experts from universities, private sectors, Malaysian Armed Forces, and NGOs in Johor, will be able to fight the Covid-19 pandemic more effectively and positive cases will begin to decline through effective public health measures and the use of the latest technology.
