STATUS TERKINI BAGI KLUSTER BENTENG LD, SABAH

Pada 7 September 2020, sebanyak 50 kes dikesan positif COVID-19 dari kluster ini, di mana kesemuanya merupakan tahanan (43 kes di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Lahad Datu dan 7 kes di Penjara Tawau). Kluster ini telah dikenal pasti pada 1 September 2020. Ia bermula dari dua (2) orang Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin (PATI) yang ditahan di Lokap Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Lahad Datu, Sabah pada 24 Ogos 2020. Mereka disaring dan didapati positif COVID-19 pada 31 Ogos 2020. Kes dimasukkan ke Hospital Lahad Datu dan aktiviti pengesanan kes secara aktif (Active Case Detection) dan saringan kontak rapat dijalankan. Dalam tempoh tujuh (7) hari, seramai 1,404 orang telah disaring dan 66 kes positif COVID-19 dikesan dengan kadar positiviti sebanyak 4.7%.

Daripada 66 kes positif COVID-19 dalam kluster ini, sebanyak 64 kes melibatkan banduan (97.0 peratus) manakala dua (2) lagi kes (3.0 peratus) merupakan seorang pegawai penjara dan anak saudaranya. Jumlah saringan yang telah dilaksanakan bagi kluster ini melibatkan:

• 631 orang banduan;

   • 230 individu negatif; dan
   • 738 individu masih menunggu keputusan.

Berdasarkan analisa risiko yang dijalankan, faktor penularan COVID-19 bagi kluster ini adalah ruang lokap yang sesak dan sempit. Didapati penjarakan fizikal sukar diamalkan. Ini merupakan penyumbang utama penularan jangkitan COVID-19 di kalangan banduan. Justeru, kepatuhan kepada Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) adalah penting dan harus diamalkan sepanjang masa tanpa mengira tempat.

KKM ingin memaklumkan bahawa satu (1) kluster baharu telah dikenal pasti di sebuah pusat perubatan di Kedah. Kes indeks (Kes ke-9455) kluster ini merupakan seorang anggota kesihatan di pusat perubatan tersebut. Beliau bergejala sejak 30 Ogos 2020 tetapi tidak mendapatkan rawatan.

  • 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;

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.

Current Situation of COVID-19 in Malaysia

Cumulatively there are now 9,459 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. Therefore, there are currently 207 active and infective COVID-19 cases. They have all been isolated and given treatment.

Of the 62 additional cases reported today, six (6) are imported cases who were infected overseas, involving two (2) Malaysians and four (4) non-Malaysians. They were travellers from the following countries:

  • 1 case: From Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) screening in Lahad Datu Hospital.
• Kedah – 4 cases:
  • 2 cases: From the Sungai Cluster, as detailed below.
  • 1 case: From the Telaga Cluster.
  • 1 case: From symptomatic screening at a dental clinic in Alor Setar.

Currently, six (6) confirmed COVID-19 cases are receiving treatment in the intensive care units (ICUs), with four (4) patients on ventilation support. No additional COVID-19 death was reported to the National CPRC MOH today. Cumulatively, there remains 128 COVID-19 deaths in Malaysia (1.35% of total cumulative cases).

Current Status of the Benteng LD Cluster

On 7 September 2020, 50 additional confirmed cases are reported today for this cluster. This cluster was identified on 1 September 2020. It started from two (2) illegal migrants detained at the Lahad Datu District Police Headquarters lockup, Sabah on 24 August 2020. They were screened and found positive for COVID-19 on 31 August 2020. The cases were admitted into Lahad Datu Hospital, and active case detection and screening of close contacts were carried out. Within seven days, a total of 1,404 individuals were screened and 66 confirmed COVID-19 cases were detected with a positivity rate of 4.7%.

Of the 66 confirmed COVID-19 cases in this cluster, 64 cases involved prisoners (97.0%) while the other two (2) cases (3.0%) is a prison officer and his nephew. The individuals screened in this cluster were:

• 631 prisoners
• 98 prison staff
• 157 family members of staff and prisoners
• 78 policemen
• 440 officers from other government agencies

This cluster involves two districts in Sabah. Of the cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases in this cluster, 30 cases (45.5%) are Malaysians and 36 cases (54.5%) are non-Malaysians. The breakdown of screening by districts involved is as follows:

1. Lahad Datu (420 individuals screened):
   • 50 confirmed COVID-19 cases (22 Malaysians and 28 non-Malaysians)
   • 337 individuals tested negative
   • 33 individuals awaiting results
2. Tawau (984 individuals screened):
   • 16 confirmed COVID-19 cases (8 Malaysians and 8 non-Malaysians)
   • 230 individuals tested negative
   • 738 individuals awaiting results

Based on the risk analysis conducted, the main factor contributing to the transmission of COVID-19 infection for this cluster is a crowded and small (confined) lockup space. It was found that physical distancing is difficult to practice. This is a major contributor to the transmission of COVID-19 infection among the prisoners. Therefore, adherence to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is important and should be practiced at all times regardless of location.

Current Status of the Sungai Cluster

MOH would like to inform that one (1) new cluster has been identified at a medical centre in Kedah. The index case (Case 9,455) of this cluster is a healthcare worker (HCW) at the medical centre.

The second case of this cluster (Case 9,456) is also an HCW at a medical centre in Kedah. This case was a close contact to the index case. This case has been ill since 5 September 2020 and sought treatment at the same medical centre. The COVID-19 screening test was conducted on 5 September 2020 and found to be positive. Both cases have been admitted into Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar for isolation and treatment.

Subsequently, active case detection and screening of close contacts were conducted. As of 7 September 2020, a total of 57 individuals have been screened. Of these:
