STATUS TERKINI KES DISAHKAN COVID-19 YANG TELAH PULIH
Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) ingin memaklumkan bahawa terdapat 166 kes yang telah pulih dan dibenarkan discaj pada hari ini. Ini menjadikan jumlah kumulatif kes yang telah pulih sepenuhnya dari COVID-19 dan telah discaj daripada wad adalah sebanyak 1,487 kes (36.1 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan kes).
STATUS TERKINI KES COVID-19 DI MALAYSIA
Sehingga 8 April 2020 pukul 12:00 tengah hari, terdapat 156 kes baharu yang telah dilaporkan. Ini menjadikan jumlah kes positif COVID-19 di Malaysia adalah sebanyak 4,119 kes. Ini bermakna, bilangan kes yang didiscaj hari ini juga adalah melebihi bilangan kes baharu yang dilaporkan.
Sehingga kini, seramai 76 kes positif COVID-19 sedang dirawat di Unit Rawatan Rapi (ICU). Daripada jumlah tersebut, 45 kes memerlukan bantuan pernafasan.
Daripada maklumat terkini yang dilaporkan ke Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) Kebangsaan, dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa terdapat pertambahan dua (2) lagi kes kematian berkaitan COVID-19. Justeru, jumlah kumulatif kes kematian COVID-19 di Malaysia adalah sebanyak 65 kes (1.58 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan kes):
- Kes kematian ke-64 (kes ke-2903) merupakan perempuan warganegara Malaysia berumur 58 tahun dan mempunyai latar belakang kencing manis dan darah tinggi. Beliau telah dirawat di Hospital Tuanku Ja’afar, Negeri Sembilan pada 30 Mac 2020 dan disahkan meninggal dunia pada 7 April 2020 jam 3.20 petang.
- Kes kematian ke-65 (kes ke-1906) merupakan lelaki warganegara Pakistan berumur 69 tahun dan mempunyai latar belakang penyakit kencing manis. Beliau mempunyai sejarah menghadiri perhimpunan di Seri Petaling. Beliau telah dirawat di Hospital Kuala Lumpur pada 22 Mac 2020 dan disahkan meninggal dunia pada 8 April 2020 jam 9.30 pagi.
KKM mengucapkan takziah kepada ahli keluarga mereka.
SUB-KLUSTER DI REMBAU, NEGERI SEMBILAN YANG BERKAITAN DENGAN PERHIMPUNAN SERI PETALING
KKM telah mengesan sebuah sub-kluster di Daerah Rembau, Negeri Sembilan yang berkaitan dengan perhimpunan di Seri Petaling. Ini merupakan satu kluster yang melibatkan kakitangan sebuah sekolah dan kemudiannya beberapa lokaliti di dalam Daerah Rembau ( Pedas, Pilin, Kundur dan Batu Hampar ). Sehingga 8 April 2020 jam 12 tengah hari, terdapat dua puluh tujuh (27) orang yang telah dikenalpasti positif COVID-19, termasuk dua (2) kes yang dirawat di Unit Rawatan Intensif (ICU).
Kluster ini mula dikesan apabila keputusan ujian COVID-19 adalah positif bagi beberapa guru di sebuah sekolah. Penularan ini dipercayai berpunca daripada satu mesyuarat yang diadakan di sekolah berkenaan di mana ianya telah dihadiri oleh kes indeks (kes ke-448) yang merupakan salah seorang peserta perhimpunan di Seri Petaling.
Guru-guru dan kakitangan sekolah yang dijangkiti seterusnya menjangkiti ahli keluarga mereka dan penduduk kampung, sehingga terdapat 3 generasi jangkitan. Siasatan juga mendapati terdapat aktiviti kunjung-mengunjung ke rumah saudara untuk melawat ahli keluarga yang tidak sihat, walaupun Negara kini adalah dalam tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP).
NASIHAT KESIHATAN BERKAITAN COVID-19
KKM memandang serius kepatuhan rakyat Malaysia dalam mengikuti nasihat yang telah dikeluarkan. Setiap lapisan masyarakat perlu memainkan peranan masing-masing secara bertanggungjawab. Pematuhan kepada ketetapan ini adalah amat penting bagi mengekang dari berlakunya penularan jangkitan yang meluas dalam masyarakat.
Didapati semasa tempoh PKP ini, masih terdapat aktiviti pergerakan yang tidak dibenarkan serta aktiviti kunjung-mengunjung ke rumah saudara mara termasuk mereka yang tidak sihat serta mereka yang sedang menjalani “home / self surveillance”. Misalnya, bagi kes kematian ke-64, beliau dan beberapa orang lain telah meneruskan perjalanan ke luar kawasan, iaitu ke dua negeri, meskipun PKP telah dikuatkuasakan mulai 18 Mac 2020. Didapati kenderaan di jalan raya juga makin meningkat. KKM khuatir sekiranya ketidakpatuhan oleh masyarakat ini akan meningkatkan lagi penularan jangkitan COVID-19.
Mengambil kira situasi semasa ini, KKM ingin menggesa orang ramai supaya kekal patuh kepada PKP. Ini adalah amat penting bagi memutuskan rantaian jangkitan COVID-19.
Sepanjang tempoh PKP ini juga, pihak KKM ingin menasihatkan orang ramai supaya duduk di rumah sambil mengamalkan:
- Tahap kebersihan yang optimum pada setiap masa, seperti kerap mencuci tangan dengan menggunakan air dan sabun
- Jarak sosial (social distancing) sekurang-kurangnya 1 meter dari orang lain.
KKM akan terus memantau perkembangan kejadian COVID-19 melalui segala maklumat yang diperolehi dan akan dimaklumkan kepada rakyat dari semasa ke semasa.
Sekian, terima kasih.

PRESS STATEMENT
MINISTRY OF HEALTH MALAYSIA
UPDATES ON THE CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)
SITUATION IN MALAYSIA
Current Status of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases Who Have Recovered
8 April 2020 – The Ministry of Health (MOH) would like to inform that 166 cases have fully recovered and discharged well today. Cumulatively, 1,487 confirmed COVID-19 cases have fully recovered and discharged well (36.1% of total cumulative cases).
Current Situation of COVID-19 in Malaysia
8 April 2020, 12 pm – A total of 156 additional confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported to the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) MOH today. Cumulatively there are now 4,119 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. This also means that the number of discharged cases exceed the number of new cases reported.
Currently, 76 confirmed COVID-19 cases are receiving treatment in intensive care units (ICU), and of these, 45 cases are on ventilation support.
Regretfully, two (2) additional COVID-19 deaths were reported to the National CPRC MOH. Cumulatively, there are now 65 COVID-19 deaths in Malaysia (1.58% of total cumulative cases):
- Death #64: Case 2,903 is a 58 year-old Malaysian woman with a history of diabetes and hypertension. She was admitted into Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital, Negeri Sembilan on 30 March 2020 and was pronounced dead on 7 April 2020 at 3.20 pm.
- Death #65: Case 1,906 is a 69 year-old man, Pakistan national, with a history of diabetes. He also has a history of attending the Seri Petaling gathering. He was admitted into Kuala Lumpur Hospital on 22 March 2020 and was pronounced dead on 8 April 2020 at 9.30 am.
MOH conveys condolences to all the family members.
COVID-19 Sub-Cluster in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan, Related to the Seri Petaling Gathering
MOH has found a COVID-19 sub-cluster in the Rembau District of Negeri Sembilan, related to the Seri Petaling gathering. This cluster consists of staff from a school, that subsequently spread to several localities in Rembau District (i.e. Pedas, Pilin, Kundur and Batu Hampar). As of 8 April 2020 at 12 pm, 27 individuals have been diagnosed with COVID-19, including two (2) cases receiving treatment in the ICU.
This cluster was first detected when several teachers in a school were found positive for COVID-19. The infection transmission is believed to have taken place during a school meeting that was also attended by Case 448 (index case), who participated in the Seri Petaling gathering.
The infection then spread from the affected teachers and other school staff to their family members and the local community, resulting in three generations of infection. Investigations also found that individuals were still visiting relatives who were unwell in their respective houses despite the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO).
Health Advisory on COVID-19
MOH strongly emphasises the importance of all Malaysians in complying to all health advisories that have been issued. Every level of the society must play their respective roles responsibly. Compliance to the MCO and all health advisories is very crucial in preventing widespread infection transmission in the community.
MOH has found that unauthorised movements outside homes are still taking place, involving visits to relatives’ homes including visiting family members who are unwell, as well as those undergoing home- or self-surveillance or monitoring. For example, for Case 2,903 (Death #64), she and several others continued to travel between different states despite the enforcement of the MCO from 18 March 2020. The number of vehicles on the road have also been increasing. MOH is deeply concerned that such non-compliance by the public will only further increase the spread of COVID-19 infection.
Throughout the duration of the Movement Control Order, MOH advises the public to stay at home while practising:
- Optimal level of personal hygiene at all times, such as washing hands frequently with water and soap
- Practice social distancing at least 1 meter away from others
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.
