He stated that he subsequently held a meeting with the relevant staff at the MOH and a decision was made to have the daily COVID-19 dashboard and a press release published punctually at 04:30pm every day.
He stated that the dashboard will comprise of data that was gathered up until the previous midnight and the press release will include data that was recorded from midnight up until the dashboard was published.
