TANGGUNGJAWAB BERSAMA SEMUA PETUGAS BARISAN HADAPAN

Anggota-anggota barisan hadapan sama ada dalam sektor kesihatan atau keselamatan harus sentiasa berwaspada terhadap apa juga cabaran dalam mencegah penularan penyakit berjangkit tanpa mengira individu, tempat dan masa. Garis panduan dan tatacara yang ditetapkan hendaklah sentiasa dipatuhi sama ada semasa menguruskan kes positif COVID-19 secara langsung atau tidak langsung. Ini termasuk kerap mencuci tangan, pemakaian pelitup muka, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) yang bersesuaian dan penjarakan fizikal iaitu termasuk juga di tempat guna sama. Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) yang ditetapkan oleh Kerajaan perlu dipatuhi sepanjang masa.

Sejak bermulanya PKP Fasa Pemulihan ini, tanggungjawab sebagai barisan hadapan bukan sahaja terletak kepada anggota kesihatan, malah ianya menjadi tanggungjawab orang ramai, komuniti, dan semua individu. Oleh itu, kejayaan negara dalam menangani pandemik COVID-19 pasca gelombang kedua ini terletak kepada kepatuhan anggota-anggota kesihatan dan keselamatan kepada garis panduan dan tatacara, serta rakyat mematuhi SOP yang dikeluarkan. Hanya dengan kepatuhan ini dapat kita mengekalkan keselamatan negara dari ancaman COVID-19.

NASIHAT KESIHATAN BERKAITAN COVID-19

KKM ingin menasihati orang ramai agar terus patuhi saranan serta nasihat-nasihat kesihatan yang sering ditekankan. Jadikanlah nasihat-nasihat ini satu kebiasaan baharu dalam kehidupan harian:

• 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), memakai alat pelitup muka (facemask) di tempat awam yang telah diwajibkan oleh pihak Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) mulai 1 Ogos 2020 atau jika bergejala (Wear), dan (Warn) iaitu amaran dari KKM yang lebih berkonsep peringatan seperti:

• Elakkan bersalaman / bersentuhan termasuk melagakan mana-mana bahagian tubuh badan sebagai menggantikan cara kebiasaan bersalam;
  • 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 normal 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) sekurang-kurangnya 1 meter diamalkan pada setiap masa.

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.

Joint Responsibility by All Frontliners

All frontliners, including those in the health sector and security sector, must always remain vigilant against any challenges in preventing the transmission of infectious diseases regardless of individual, place and time. All guidelines and procedures should always be complied with when managing confirmed COVID-19 cases directly or indirectly. This includes regular hand washing, wearing facemasks, appropriate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and maintaining physical distancing, including in common spaces. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by the Government must be complied with at all times.

Since the beginning of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), the responsibility as frontliners not only lies with the healthcare workers, but it is also the responsibility of the public, the community, and all individuals. Therefore, the country’s success in dealing with the post-second-wave COVID-19 pandemic lies in the compliance of healthcare workers and security personnel with all guidelines and procedures, as well as the public’s compliance with the SOPs set. Only with this compliance can we maintain the nation’s security from the threat of COVID-19.

Health Advisory on COVID-19

MOH advices the public to continue to follow the recommendations and health advisories that are often emphasised. These advisories must be incorporated as the new normal in our daily life, including:

• Avoid the 3Cs: Avoid Crowded places; Confined spaces; and Close conversations.

• Practice the 3Ws: Wash hands frequently with water and soap; Wearing facemasks is now mandatory in public areas (starting from 1 August 2020 as directed by the National Security Council) or highly recommended if symptomatic; Warn self and others for the following, in line with MOH’s advisories:
  • Avoid shaking hands or touching others, including bumping parts of the body in lieu of shaking hands
  • 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 as the new normal:

• 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.
