Dr Adham Baba, Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation stated CanSino and Sinovac vaccines would be used to boost vaccination in six states that have yet to reach 50% adult vaccination.

He stated the government will procure three million doses of CanSino vaccine, which only needed one dosage, and six million doses of Sinovac vaccine to establish herd immunity.

According to him, the CanSino vaccine is a breakthrough in the Prime Minister’s opinion since we do not have to wait in case there’s a delay by the provider with which the production and supply agreement has been made with.

CanSino may be utilized in hard-to-reach and rural locations for two-dose vaccination,” he said after his first working visit to Solution Biologics Sdn Bhd (SolBio)’s fill and finish factory for Convidicea CanSino vaccine located in Bukit Jalil.

Dr Adham said that Malaysia has bought 3.5 million doses of the CanSino vaccine, three million of which are for ‘fill and finish’ purposes, while the remaining 500,000 doses would be purchased in bulk from CanSino China.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo said that the government will modify Covid-19 restrictions for the week of Aug. 31 to Sept. 6, involving those for shopping malls and industries, in response to a decreased infection rate in more regions.

More areas of highly populated Java island have been removed from the most severe Level 4 category, according to President Jokowi, who noted that hospital bed occupancy rates in those places had decreased over the past week.

According to senior minister Luhut Pandjaitan, restaurants and non-essential sectors will have their restrictions lifted, while the government expands the use of a smartphone application for tracking.

Retailers would be allowed to serve up to 50% more dine-in customers than presently allowed, and malls may remain open until 9 p.m., an hour later than already allowed.

The government will also test indoor eating for eateries outside shopping centers in major cities.

All factories may run with 100% employees split into shifts if they have appropriate government papers, he said.
