He addressed the public's concerns regarding the enforcement of mask-wearing, explaining that any significant future changes in pandemic policies would also be grounded in scientific proof.

He also clarified that he had not actively sought to return to his position as Health Minister, commenting,** "I've had enough rest in the past 12 months. Despite skepticism, I didn't raise my hand to come back.**"
