Ingin dimaklumkan daripada 230 kluster COVID-19 yang telah dilaporkan sejak permulaan pandemik di Malaysia, sebanyak 62 kluster (30 peratus) adalah berkaitan dengan tempat kerja. Sehingga 27 Oktober 2020, terdapat 37 kluster berkaitan tempat kerja yang masih aktif termasuk dua (2) kluster baharu diumumkan pada hari ini.

KKM amat berterima kasih dan ingin menyampaikan penghargaan kepada majikan dan syarikat swasta dalam bersama-sama membantu mengekang penularan COVID-19 di kalangan warga kerja. Tindakan proaktif majikan yang turut sama menjalankan saringan COVID-19 terhadap pekerja-pekerja membolehkan pengesanan kes-kes positif yang tidak bergejala di kalangan warga kerja dan seterusnya membantu KKM dalam menjalankan aktiviti kesihatan awam dengan segera. Ini sekaligus dapat membendung penularan jangkitan COVID-19 dalam sesebuah komuniti dan seterusnya melindungi individu-individu daripada kumpulan berisiko tinggi, warga emas dan kanak-kanak.

Selain tindakan proaktif majikan, warga pekerja juga mempunyai peranan yang besar dalam membantu KKM untuk membendung penularan COVID-19 di tempat kerja dengan mematuhi Prosedur Amalan Standard (SOP) yang telah ditetapkan. Di samping itu, warga kerja perlu sentiasa mengamalkan kawalan kendiri ketika berada di tempat kerja. Persekitaran tempat kerja yang bersih dan selamat juga hendaklah dijadikan kebiasaan harian bagi memutuskan rantaian jangkitan 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.

Sekian, terima kasih.

SITUATION IN MALAYSIA

27 October 2020

Current Status of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases Who Have Recovered

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is pleased to inform that today Malaysia reported 674 COVID-19 recovery cases. Therefore, cumulatively, 18,499 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been discharged well (64.6% of total cumulative cases). The breakdown of cases that have recovered by state is as follows:

Current Situation of COVID-19 in Malaysia

We are pleased to inform today that Sabah reported a decrease in the number of cases by 517 cases (55.8%), from 927 cases to 410 cases. Despite the decrease in the number of cases today, MOH is still conducting screening and active case detection throughout Sabah. This is because there are still 44 active clusters in Sabah and an increase in daily local transmission daily can still occur.

The states in the Klang Valley reported 138 cases (16.5% of the total cases). Of these 138 additional cases, 65 cases (47.1%) are from existing and new clusters. These states as well as Sabah have already been placed under the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).

Of these, 15 cases are from the Tembok Cluster; seven (7) cases from the Penjara Kepayan Cluster; and one (1) case from the Penjara Reman Cluster. This is the result of the hard work of all agencies in the prevention and control activities, in addition to the implementation of the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) for the prisons and quarters involved, to prevent any transmission to the local communities.

As of 27 October 2020, 12 pm, a total of 835 additional confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported to the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) MOH today. Cumulatively, there are 28,640 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. Therefore, there are currently 9,903 active and infective COVID-19 cases. They have all been isolated and given treatment.

Summary of the deaths reported today is shown in the following table:

MOH extends its condolences to all their family members.

Two (2) New Clusters Reported Today

MOH would like to inform that there are two (2) new clusters have been identified today.

The Lintas Cluster

This new cluster involves the Kota Kinabalu district, Sabah. A total of six (6) confirmed COVID-19 cases were detected from a workplace screening on 26 October 2020. All these cases were admitted into the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

As of 27 October 2020, 12 pm, a total of 21 individuals have been screened, of which:

• Six (6) confirmed COVID-19 cases (6 additional cases reported today)
• 15 individuals tested negative

The Limbungan Cluster

This new cluster was reported in WP Labuan. The index case for this cluster (Case 18,741) was detected positive for COVID-19 from screening of close contacts on 15 October 2020. Further screening of close contacts has identified 19 additional confirmed COVID-19 cases on 27 October 2020. All these cases were admitted into Labuan Hospital.

As of 27 October 2020, 12 pm, a total of 383 individuals have been screened, of which:

• 20 confirmed COVID-19 cases (13 additional cases)
• 44 individuals tested negative
• 319 individuals awaiting results

Measures to Prevent COVID-19 Transmission at Workplaces

MOH would like to inform that a total of 230 COVID-19 clusters have been reported since the beginning of the pandemic in Malaysia; of which, 62 clusters (30%) were related to workplaces. As of 27 October 2020, there are 37 workplace-related clusters that are still active, including two (2) new clusters reported today.

MOH is very grateful and would like to express its appreciation to employers and private companies in helping to control the transmission of COVID-19 among their employees and workers. The proactive actions of employers in implementing COVID-19 screening of their employees enables the detection of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases among the employees and this in turn assists MOH in promptly carrying out public health prevention and control measures. This can also prevent the transmission of COVID-19 infection in the community and further protect individuals of high-risk groups, the older adults and children.

In addition to the proactive actions of employers, employees also have a major role to play in assisting the MOH to control the transmission of COVID-19 in the workplace by complying with the Standard Practice Procedures (SOPs) that have been set. In addition, employees should always practice self-compliance while at work. A clean and safe workplace environment should also be made the new normal in our daily working life to break the transmission chain of the COVID-19 infection.

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.
