Claims that cabinet ministers being indifferent to the Covid-19 outbreak was untrue as all of them are working on the matter, said Defence Minister Ismail Sabri, who is also a coordinating senior minister.

"On the part of the ministers, we are meeting daily, we are not ignoring what is happening.

"The accusations that ministers don't care is slander. Every minister is providing the latest report for their respective ministries on the Covid-19 issue," he told a press conference that was streamed live on Facebook.
