    The document discusses how businesses in Malaysia are dealing with the recent surge in COVID-19 Omicron cases. Manufacturers have tightened standard operating procedures to reduce infections and allow them to continue operations with minimal disruption. However, there has been a surge in workers identified as close contacts, putting pressure on factory operations. As a result, many employers have had to hire additional contract workers to avoid delays in order and delivery schedules. The health minister has proposed changes to allow asymptomatic close contacts to still report to work.
