KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said parents who continue to put their children at risk of exposure to Covid-19 could face more severe action from the authorities than fines.

He said under gazetted law, the police can open investigations into such parents who risk the health and lives of their children.

“Before 2021, most infection cases reported were people aged 60 years and above. But at the beginning of the year, the ministry recorded more younger people being infected,” Dr Adham said during a press conference with National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (CITF) Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
