PM Muhyiddin Yassin Said That The COVID-19 Vaccine Should Be Made Available To All

Sep 22, 2020

Doctors and scientists from all over the world are working hard to try and find a vaccine for the new coronavirus.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said, the United Nations (UN) has to ensure that once a vaccine is found, it must be accessible to all nations and peoples.

“It has taken so many lives, and has exposed the true capacity and effectiveness of our healthcare systems. The socio-economic impact has been just as severe,” he said in his speech at a high-level meeting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. 

“We must remember that since COVID-19 does not discriminate, our response should not too,” he added.

The meeting was held virtually because of the pandemic, and the statement was pre-recorded at his office in Putrajaya.

Malaysia recorded 57 new COVID-19 cases yesterday (21 September), while the death toll so far remains at 130.

There’s still a long way to go until a vaccine is found, so make sure to wear face masks when you’re out in public, maintain physical distancing and clean your hands regularly. 

Stay safe, and take care of yourself and your loved ones!
