  • 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);

Begitu juga, KKM akan memastikan langkah pencegahan dan kawalan yang sewajarnya adalah dilaksanakan secara berterusan.

Validity of COVID-19 Information

The government is doing its best to keep the public informed of the latest COVID-19 situation by channeling verified, accurate and timely information. While the Government deals with the spread of COVID-19, the Government also needs to address the issue of viralled messages i.e. the spread of fake news and unverified information that are deliberately created by parties with vested interests. This action is absolutely irresponsible because it causes public anxiety and worry.

To obtain verified information on the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia:

• Follow the COVID-19 Press Conference by MOH, that is currently held daily;
• MOH official social media sites;
• CPRC, MOH telegram channel: https://t.me/cprckkm;
• The MySejahtera application;
• Information, infographics, videos, MOH official media statements and the latest COVID-19 Guidelines can be obtained from the MOH website: http://covid-19.moh.gov.my; and
• For COVID-19 health-related issues, the public can contact the National CPRC, MOH at the hotline: 03-88810200, 03-88810600, 03-88810700 and the official email: cprc@moh.gov.my.

The public is advised not to spread any fake news or unverified information. MOH would like to thank the community for assisting the Government in disseminating verified information.

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.
