PENUTUPAN PUSAT KUARANTIN & RAWATAN COVID-19 BERISIKO RENDAH MAEPS, SERDANG

KKM ingin memaklumkan bahawa Yang Berhormat Menteri Kesihatan, Dato’ Seri Dr Adham Baba telah menyaksikan proses pesakit terakhir didiscaj hari ini daripada Pusat Kuarantin dan Rawatan COVID-19 Berisiko Rendah MAEPS (PKRC), Serdang. Oleh itu, dengan rasminya pusat ini akan menamatkan operasinya pada 15 Julai 2020.

PKRC Serdang ini telah diilhamkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin sebagai salah satu langkah proaktif Kerajaan dalam menangani pandemik penyakit COVID-19 di Negara ini. Ia telah mula beroperasi secara rasmi pada 16 April 2020 dan mula menerima pesakit pertama pada 21 April 2020.

PENGESANAN KES COVID-19 MELALUI SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTION DI MALAYSIA

KKM terus memantau kejadian penyakit COVID-19 walaupun kes semakin kurang di Malaysia. Ujian pengesanan COVID-19 dijalankan secara berterusan untuk mengesan kes-kes baru di kalangan komuniti. Antaranya adalah melalui sistem survelan klinikal seperti pengesanan kes Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) di hospital.

Pada hari ini, sistem survelan ini telah mengesan dua (2) kes positif COVID-19 yang merupakan warganegara Malaysia. Sehingga 10 Julai 2020, sebanyak 20,897 sampel telah diambil dan sebanyak 79 kes positif COVID-19 didapati positif (iaitu kadar positif adalah 0.38 peratus). Kadar positif ini adalah kurang daripada satu (1) peratus bermakna kebolehjangkitan adalah rendah di Malaysia. Meskipun rendah, sistem survelan di Malaysia masih dapat mengesan kes-kes ini kerana ia mempunyai kapasiti dan kapabiliti pengesanan yang baik.

Petugas kesihatan di sektor awam dan swasta akan terus diberi latihan dan maklumat terkini untuk mengesan serta mengurus kes-kes disyaki COVID-19 misalnya Influenza Like Illness (ILI) dan SARI mengikut garis panduan terkini yang dibangunkan daripada maklumat terkini pelbagai sumber antarabangsa dan tempatan untuk kegunaan di dalam Malaysia.

NASIHAT KESIHATAN BERKAITAN COVID-19

Pihak KKM menyeru agar orang ramai terus kekal waspada dan amalkan nasihat-nasihat kesihatan yang disarankan oleh KKM iaitu:

• Elakkan 3S / 3C:iaitu elakkan kawasan yang sesak (Crowded place), elakkan kawasan yang sempit (Confined space) dan elak sembang atau bertutur dengan jarak yang dekat (Close conversation).

• Amalkan 3W:iaitu kerap mencuci tangan dengan air dan sabun (Wash), sangat digalakkan memakai alat pelitup separuh muka (penutup hidung dan mulut – facemask) di tempat awam atau jika bergejala (Wear), dan (Warn) iaitu amaran dari KKM yang lebih berkonsep peringatan seperti:
  • Elakkan bersalaman / bersentuhan;
  • Amalkan etika batuk dan bersin;
  • Dapatkan rawatan segera jika bergejala;
  • Duduk di rumah dan elakkan kunjung-mengunjung;
  • Lakukan aktiviti disinfeksi dan pembersihan di kawasan yang kerap disentuh.

Selain itu, ingatlah kepada S.O.P, iaitu:

• S:Syarat-syarat seperti yang ditetapkan di bawah Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Pemulihan (PKPP);
• O:Orang yang berisiko tinggi seperti kanak-kanak, bayi, warga emas dan orang kurang upaya (OKU) perlu dilindungi, individu tidak sihat dan bergejala dikehendaki segera menjalani pemeriksaan kesihatan;
• P:Penjarakan sosial (social distancing) diamalkan pada setiap masa iaitu sekurang-kurangnya 1 meter.

KKM akan terus memantau perkembangan kejadian jangkitan di dalam negara, dan juga luar negara melalui maklumat yang diperolehi daripada pihak Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO). Orang ramai akan sentiasa dimaklumkan sebarang perkembangan terkini mengenainya. Begitu juga, KKM akan memastikan langkah pencegahan dan kawalan yang sewajarnya adalah dilaksanakan secara berterusan.

Detection of COVID-19 Cases Through Surveillance of Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) in Malaysia

MOH continues to monitor the COVID-19 infection even though the numbers are declining. COVID-19 testing is done continuously to detect new cases in the community. This includes the clinical surveillance system, one of which is detecting severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in hospitals.

As of 10 July 2020, a total of 20,897 samples have been taken and 79 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been detected (a positive rate of 0.38%). This positive rate is less than 1%, indicating a very low risk of infectivity. Even so, the surveillance system in Malaysia can still detect these cases because it has good tracing capacity and capability.

Healthcare workers in the public and private sectors will continue to be provided with training and up-to-date information to detect and manage suspected COVID-19 cases such as Influenza Like Illness (ILI) and SARI according to the latest guidelines developed from the latest international and local information sources for use in Malaysia.
