Healthcare Workers and Risk of COVID-19 Infection

MOH would like to express its sincere appreciation to all healthcare workers (HCWs) from MOH, private and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), especially those in the frontline working hard to cope with the COVID-19 situation in the interest of the country.

As of 2 April 2020, 12 pm, a total of 138 MOH HCWs have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Based on current investigations, none of these cases were from managing COVID-19 positive patients in the wards and the ICU’s.

Of these, the causes of infection were:

• 58 cases (42%) related to weddings attended by individuals who also attended the Seri Petaling gathering
• 14 cases (10.1%) were associated with patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) and patients with mild symptom, whereby these patients were unaware or did not disclose their high-risk status. Two cases in this group did not inform that they had attended the Seri Petaling gathering
• 9 cases (6.5%) were close contacts with COVID-19 positive family members
• 6 cases (4.3%) with history of travelling overseas
• 4 cases (2.9%) were close contacts with COVID-19 positive friends
• 3 cases (2.2%) due to exposure during screening activities in the field
• 2 cases (1.4%) attended the Seri Petaling gathering
• The remaining 42 cases (30.4%) are still under investigation

All HCWs and frontliners including private medical practitioners and NGOs, must all wear face masks while treating patients.

HCWs must also take all recommended precautionary measures, especially hand hygiene, social distancing and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), especially when performing clinical procedures.

MOH also urges the public who come for treatment to provide honest information about any history of close contact with confirmed COVID-19 case(s), attendance at any large gatherings and history of travelling overseas.

It is very important for all HCW and frontliners to take care of your physical and mental health, by:

• Take time to rest in between work shifts and assignments
• Make sure you eat healthily
• Don’t keep to yourself; share your feelings and emotions with someone you trust
• Give each other words of encouragement and support
• Interact constantly with family members
• Get help from psychosocial support when needed

MOH is also very grateful to the family members of HCWs for their constant support.

Health Advisory on COVID-19

As informed earlier, as of 3 April 2020, a total of 827 positive COVID-19 cases have fully recovered and discharged well from the wards.

Taking on the commitment and enthusiasm these patients have shown in the process of recovering from the COVID-19 infection, MOH hopes this will give hope to other patients and the public to remain optimistic in facing the COVID-19 situation. The public is also urged to avoid stigma against these individuals and instead provide moral support to those affected.

MOH will continue to monitor the development of the COVID-19 situation based on all available information, and the public will be continuously updated on the latest information.

Thank you.
