PENINGKATAN KES COVID-19 DALAM NEGARA

KKM ingin memaklumkan bahawa terdapat peningkatan kes COVID-19 di Malaysia sejak 7 September 2020. Peningkatan kes bagi negeri Sabah dan Kedah banyak menyumbang kepada jumlah keseluruhan kes. Susulan itu, KKM telah mengambil tindakan langkah kawalan dan pencegahan bagi membendung penularan COVID-19. Antara langkah kawalan dan pencegahan yang telah dilakukan adalah:

• Pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Diperketatkan Bersasar (PKPDB) secara pentadbiran di daerah Lahad Datu, Tawau, Kunak dan Semporna, Sabah;
• Pengesanan kontak rapat kes positif COVID-19;
• Pelaksanaan proses nyah kuman dan dekontaminasi di lokasi-lokasi yang terbabit dengan COVID-19;
• Pelaksanaan saringan di Pintu Masuk Domestik dan Antarabangsa;
• Perluasan saringan bagi komuniti dan golongan berisiko tinggi;
• Mobilisasi pasukan bantuan kesihatan ke zon merah;
• Penambahan bilangan katil di hospital dan pusat kuarantin; dan
• Penambahan kapasiti makmal perubatan.

KKM juga ingin menzahirkan ucapan terima kasih atas penglibatan agensi-agensi lain dalam membendung penularan COVID-19.

Untuk makluman, jumlah kes positif COVID-19 harian masih tinggi kebelakangan ini. Justeru, masyarakat dinasihatkan supaya sentiasa mematuhi Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP). Diharapkan dengan langkah kawalan dan pencegahan yang diambil oleh pihak KKM, agensi-agensi lain dengan kerjasama masyarakat, dapat membendung penularan COVID-19 di Malaysia

KEGUNAAN HOTSPOT TRACKER DALAM APLIKASI MySejahtera.

Baru-baru ini, tular isu tentang pusat membeli belah yang mengeluarkan kenyataan tentang pekerja yang disahkan positif COVID-19. KKM sangat menghargai tindakan proaktif pusat membeli-belah tersebut membantu dalam langkah kawalan dan pencegahan.

Untuk makluman semua, KKM perlu menjalankan siasatan terperinci sebelum menyatakan sesuatu kawasan sebagai berisiko tinggi (Hotspot). Penentuan Hotspot adalah berdasarkan lokasi kes positif dan lokasi yang berpontensi menjadi punca penularan COVID-19. KKM perlu melakukan penilaian risiko dan kadar kebolehjangkitan sebelum menyatakan sesuatu tempat sebagai berpotensi menjadi punca penyebaran virus COVID-19.

KKM juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada orang ramai yang telah menggunakan pelbagai fungsi aplikasi MySejahtera. Kami juga ingin menasihatkan orang ramai agar hanya berkongsi maklumat yang terbukti kesahihannya agar tidak menimbulkan kegusaran di dalam masyarakat.

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.

Increase in COVID-19 Cases in the Country

MOH would like to inform that there is an increase in COVID-19 cases in Malaysia since 7 September 2020. The increase in cases in Sabah and Kedah contributed significantly to the increasing total number of cases. Following this, MOH has strengthened prevention and control measures to curb the transmission of the COVID-19 infection. Among the measures that have been taken are:

• Implementation of the administrative Targeted Enhanced Movement Control Order (TEMCO) in Lahad Datu, Tawau, Kunak and Semporna districts, Sabah
• Tracing of close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases
• Implementation of disinfection and decontamination in locations related to the COVID-19 cases
• Implementation of screening at Domestic and International Ports of Entry
• Expansion of screening for high-risk communities and groups
• Mobilisation of health support teams to the Red Zones
• Increasing the number of beds in hospitals and quarantine centres
• Increasing the capacity of medical laboratories

MOH would also like to thank the involvement of other agencies in curbing the transmission of COVID-19.

The number of daily confirmed COVID-19 cases has remained high lately. Therefore, the public is advised to always comply with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). It is hoped that the prevention and control measures taken by the MOH and other agencies in collaboration with the public, can curb the transmission of the COVID-19 infection in Malaysia.

Using the Hotspot Tracker in the MySejahtera App

Recently, an issue was viralled about a mall that issued a statement about a worker confirmed positive for COVID-19. MOH is very appreciative of the proactive action of the mall to assist in the prevention and control measures.

MOH needs to conduct a detailed investigation before stating an area as high risk (or Hotspot). The determination of the Hotspot is based on the location of the confirmed case(s) and the location(s) that could potentially be the cause of the COVID-19 transmission. MOH also needs to assess the risk and infectivity rate before stating a place or location as a potential cause of the transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

MOH thanks the public who have used the various functions of the MySejahtera app. MOH also advises the public to only share verified information so as not to cause fear and panic in the community.

Health Advisory on COVID-19

MOH advices the public to continue to comply to 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.
