PEMAKAIAN PELITUP MUKA WAJIB MULAI 1 OGOS 2020
KKM ingin memaklumkan bahawa Kerajaan telah mewajibkan pemakaian pelitup muka dalam pengangkutan awam dan di kawasan sesak tumpuan umum bermula 1 Ogos 2020. Ini merupakan salah satu strategi untuk membendung penularan jangkitan COVID-19 di Malaysia. Individu yang mengingkari arahan ini bakal berdepan hukuman denda RM1,000 mengikut Akta Pencegahan dan Pengawalan Penyakit Berjangkit 1988 (Akta 342).
Namun harus diingati bahawa, penggunaan pelitup muka harus diamalkan bersama dengan penjagaan kebersihan tangan dengan kerap dan penjarakan fizikal (physical distancing) yang selamat iaitu sekurang-kurangnya satu (1) meter daripada orang lain.
Terdapat 2 jenis pelitup muka yang boleh digunakan bagi tujuan pencegahan tersebut iaitu pelitup muka perubatan (medical) dan pelitup muka bukan perubatan (non-medical).
- Pelitup muka perubatan seperti 3 ply surgical mask, digunakan oleh petugas Kesihatan; orang awam yang mempunyai gejala saluran pernafasan; golongan yang berisiko tinggi seperti warga emas (iaitu mereka yang berusia 60 tahun dan ke atas); dan mereka yang mempunyai penyakit kronik seperti kencing manis dan darah tinggi.
- Penggunaan pelitup muka bukan perubatan disyorkan untuk mereka yang tidak mengalami gejala namun berada di tempat-tempat di mana penjarakan fizikal sukar diamalkan.
Terdapat juga pelitup muka bukan perubatan jenis fabrik di pasaran. Namun, ia mungkin tidak menepati ciri-ciri yang disarankan oleh Pertubuhan Kesihatan Dunia (WHO). Pelitup muka tersebut boleh dipakai untuk kegunaan orang awam tetapi keberkesanannya mungkin berbeza bergantung kepada jenis dan bilangan lapisan kain yang digunakan. Adalah diingatkan bahawa pelitup muka tidak boleh dikongsi dengan orang lain. Semua pelitup muka perlu dipakai dan dilupuskan dengan cara yang betul.
Pelitup muka tidak boleh dipakai oleh kanak-kanak yang berumur kurang daripada dua (2) tahun, bagi mereka yang sukar bernafas dan individu yang tidak sedarkan diri, kurang berupaya, atau tidak dapat menanggalkan pelitup muka tanpa bantuan.
Masyarakat diseru untuk memberikan kerjasama penuh kepada kerajaan dalam memerangi kejadian ini. Bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita roboh merupakan satu peribahasa yang akan menentukan kejayaan atau kegagalan Malaysia dalam menghadapi pandemik COVID-19 yang melanda dunia bersama.
NASIHAT KESIHATAN BERKAITAN COVID-19
KKM ingin menasihatkan masyarakat agar terus waspada dan terus amalkan nasihat-nasihat ini sebagai satu kebiasaan baharu bukan sahaja semasa musim perayaan, namun dalam kehidupan harian misalnya:
- 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.
Patuhlah kepada S.O.P sebagai norma baharu 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 fizikal (physical 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.
Sekian, terima kasih.

Mandatory Use of Facemasks from 1 August 2020
MOH would like to inform that the Government has made it mandatory to wear facemasks in public transport and in crowded public areas from 1 August 2020. This is one of the strategies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection in Malaysia. Individuals who do not comply to this directive will face a fine of RM1,000 under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 [Act 342].
However, it should be remembered that the use of facemasks should be practiced together with regular good hand hygiene and safe physical distancing of at least one (1) metre from others.
There are two types of facemasks that can be used for the purpose of prevention, namely medical facemasks and non-medical facemasks.
- Medical facemasks such as the 3-ply surgical masks, should be used by healthcare workers (HCWs), individuals with respiratory tract infection symptoms, high-risk groups such as older adults (i.e. those age 60 years and above), and those with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
- The use of non-medical facemasks is recommended for individuals who do not have symptoms but are in places where physical distancing is difficult to practice.
There are also fabric non-medical facemasks on the market. However, these may not meet the criteria recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Such facemasks can be worn by the public, but their effectiveness may vary depending on the type of material and number of layers of the fabric used. It is important to note that facemasks should not be shared with others. All facemasks need to be worn and disposed of properly.
Facemasks should not be worn by children less than two (2) years of age, by individuals who may have difficulty breathing, individuals who are unconscious, disabled, or unable to remove facemasks without assistance.
The public is requested to give full cooperation to the Government in combating the current situation. “United we are strong, separated we will fall” (Bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita roboh) is a proverb that will determine the success or failure of Malaysia in facing the COVID-19 pandemic that is affected all countries globally.
Health Advisory on COVID-19
MOH advices the public to continue to remain vigilant and to always comply to the recommendations and health advisories repeatedly emphasised by the MOH. These advisories must be incorporated into everyday life as the new normal.
- Avoid the 3Cs: Avoid Crowded places; Confined spaces; and Close conversations
- Practice the 3Ws: Wash hands frequently with water and soap; Wearing facemasks are now mandatory in public areas or highly recommended if symptomatic; Warn self and others for the following, in line with MOH’s advisories:
- Avoid shaking hands or touching others
- Practice good coughing and sneezing etiquette
- Seek early treatment if symptomatic
- Stay at home and avoid from visiting others
- Regularly clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces in common areas
In addition to the SOPs, continue to adhere to THiS:
- T: Terms set under the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO)
- Hi: High-risk groups such as children, infants, older adults and the disabled must be protected, and if unwell with symptoms, to seek early treatment
- S: Safe physical distancing is practiced at all times, of at least 1 metre away from others
MOH will continue to monitor the development of the COVID-19 situation, both in the country as well as internationally, based on available information from the World Health Organization (WHO). The public will be continuously updated on the latest information. In addition, MOH will ensure that appropriate preventive and control measures are continuously implemented.
Thank you.
