TIGA (3) KLUSTER BAHARU DILAPORKAN HARI INI

KKM ingin memaklumkan bahawa terdapat tiga (3) kluster baharu telah dikenal pasti pada hari ini iaitu;

1) KLUSTER KAPOR

Kluster baharu ini melibatkan daerah Kudat di negeri Sabah. Kes-kes bagi kluster ini telah dikenal pasti positif COVID-19 hasil saringan komuniti pelaut yang menetap di Kampung Tanjung Kapor dan telah mengesan sebanyak 46 kes positif COVID-19 pada 22 Oktober 2020. Kesemua kes telah dimasukkan ke Pusat Kuarantin dan Rawatan COVID-19 Berisiko Rendah (PKRC) Kota Belud, Sabah.

Sehingga 26 Oktober 2020, 12 tengah hari, sejumlah 127 individu telah disaring, di mana:

• 46 kes dikesan positif COVID-19 (30 kes baharu); dan
• 81 individu masih menunggu keputusan.

2) KLUSTER HAMPAR

Kluster baharu ini melibatkan daerah Rembau di Negeri Sembilan. Kes indeks bagi kluster ini (iaitu kes ke-23736) telah dikenal pasti positif COVID-19 hasil saringan individu bergejala pada 21 Oktober 2020 dan telah dimasukkan ke Hospital Rembau. Saringan kontak rapat telah mengenal pasti empat (4) lagi kes positif COVID-19.

KONSEP YANG DIGUNAKAN DALAM PEMBERIAN NAMA BAGI KLUSTER BAHARU

KKM mengambil maklum pandangan orang umum mengenai konsep yang digunapakai KKM dalam menamakan kluster COVID-19. Untuk makluman semua, pemilihan nama kluster adalah berdasarkan latar belakang kes indeks bagi kluster tersebut. Nama kluster dipilih berdasarkan nama bangunan, taman atau jalan tempat kediaman atau tempat kerja kes indeks. Ini adalah bagi memastikan komunikasi berkesan di antara pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam kawalan dan pengurusan kluster.

Selain itu, nama sesebuah kluster juga boleh dipilih bagi menggambarkan cara penyebaran jangkitan di antara kes indeks dan kontak rapat seperti; Kluster Auto yang menggambarkan jangkitan kluster di tempat kerja melibatkan pekerja di syarikat automotif dan Kluster Inai yang menggambarkan jangkitan kluster bermula daripada majlis berinai.

KKM sangat berhati-hati dalam pemilihan nama kluster bagi mengelakkan sebarang keresahan dan stigma kepada pesakit, penduduk setempat mahu pun organisasi yang terlibat. KKM juga sentiasa melakukan pengesanan kes secara aktif di lapangan bagi memastikan kesemua yang terlibat disaring dan diasingkan daripada komuniti sekiranya didapati positif jangkitan COVID-19.

Bagi masyarakat, adalah penting bagi mereka memahami bahawa tindakan utama yang boleh melindungi mereka daripada dijangkiti COVID-19 adalah dengan mengamalkan segala nasihat  seperti yang sering dimaklumkan oleh KKM dan juga dengan mematuhi segala Prosedur Amalan Standard (SOP) yang ditetapkan. Cabaran utama bagi kita semua adalah dalam melaksanakannya dengan sebaik mungkin dan dipatuhi oleh semua individu dari segenap lapisan 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.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Current Situation of COVID-19 in Malaysia

Today, Sabah continues to report the highest number of cases at 927 cases (74.8%). This number increased again contributed by confirmed cases in Kepayan Prison i.e. 439 cases. This is due to intensive active case detection conducted in Sabah. In addition, the mobilisation of healthcare workers has also strengthened screening in the field as well as medical treatment.

MOH extends its condolences to all their family members.

Three (3) New Clusters Reported Today

MOH would like to inform that there are three (3) new clusters have been identified today.

The Kapor Cluster

This new cluster involves the Kudat district, Sabah. The confirmed COVID-19 cases in this cluster were detected from screening of seafaring communities residing in Kampung Tanjung Kapor, with a total of 46 confirmed COVID-19 cases detected on 22 October 2020. All cases have been admitted into the COVID-19 Quarantine and Low Risk Treatment Centre (PKRC) in Kota Belud, Sabah.

As of 26 October 2020, 12 pm, a total of 127 individuals have been screened, of which:

• 46 confirmed COVID-19 cases (30 additional cases)
• 81 individuals awaiting results

The Hampar Cluster

This new cluster involves the Rembau district, Negeri Sembilan. The index case for this cluster (Case 23,736) was detected positive for COVID-19 from symptomatic screening on 21 October 2020 and admitted into Rembau Hospital. Screening of close contacts has identified four (4) additional confirmed COVID-19 cases.

As of 26 October 2020, 12 pm, a total of 578 individuals have been screened, of which:

• Five (5) confirmed COVID-19 cases (4 additional cases)
• 96 individuals tested negative
• 477 individuals awaiting results

The Penjara Tapah Cluster

This new cluster involves the Batang Padang district, Perak. A total of 11 confirmed COVID-19 cases were detected from screening conducted at Tapah Prison starting from 12 October 2020. All cases have been admitted to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital, Ipoh and Teluk Intan Hospital. Screening of close contacts has identified four (4) additional confirmed COVID-19 cases.

As of 26 October 2020, 12 pm, a total of 2,268 individuals have been screened, of which:

• 11 confirmed COVID-19 cases (4 additional cases)
• 1,820 individuals tested negative
• 437 individuals awaiting results

Concept Used in Naming of New Clusters

MOH takes note of the public’s views on the concept used by MOH in naming new COVID-19 clusters. The selection of names for the new clusters is based on the background of the index case for the cluster. The name of the cluster is chosen based on the name of the building, housing area, street name or workplace of the index case. This is to ensure effective communication between the agencies involved in the control and management of the cluster.

In addition, the name of a cluster can also be chosen to describe the disease transmission between index case(s) and close contacts e.g. the Auto Cluster describes a cluster in a workplace involving employees in an automotive company, and the Inai Cluster that describes a cluster that started from a pre-wedding (majlis berinai) ceremony.

MOH is very cautious in choosing cluster names to avoid any anxiety and stigma to patients, local residents or organisations involved. MOH also regularly conducts active case detection in the field to ensure that all individuals involved are screened and isolated from the community if they are found to be positive for COVID-19 infection.

For the community, it is important for them to understand that the main action that can protect them from being infected with COVID-19 is by practising all of the advisories continuously stated by MOH and also by complying with all of the Standard Practice Procedures (SOPs) set. The main challenge for all of us is to implement these actions as best as possible, and be continuously complied with by all members of the public.

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.
