Kluster-kluster aktif 19 November 2020

9,167 KES POSITIF COVID-19 BERJAYA DIKESAN  MELALUI APLIKASI PINTAR MYSEJAHTERA

Aplikasi pintar MySejahtera telah dilancarkan oleh Kerajaan pada 20 April 2020 bagi membantu pengurusan pandemik COVID-19. Sejak dilancarkan, aplikasi ini mendapat sambutan yang amat menggalakkan daripada semua lapisan masyarakat. Sehingga 18 November 2020, MySejahtera telah berjaya mencapai 23,953,970 pengguna serta tanggungan yang berdaftar, dan 1,058,853 premis perniagaan berdaftar.

Setakat ini, MySejahtera telah merekodkan 1.7 bilion jumlah kumulatif check-in ke premis-premis berdaftar menggunakan imbasan kod QR dengan purata 15 juta check-in sehari. Selain itu, ia juga telah membantu merungkai 523,000 persoalan pengguna. Aplikasi ini telah berjaya mendapat penarafan 4.7 bintang di dalam aplikasi Apple Store dan Google Playstore.

Aplikasi MySejahtera telah banyak membantu KKM dalam mengesan kes-kes positif COVID-19 melalui 2 kaedah berikut, iaitu:

  • Penilaian kesihatan kendiri oleh pengguna, di mana kes COVID-19 dikesan apabila seseorang itu menilai risiko terhadap COVID-19 mengikut kriteria dalam garis panduan KKM. Sehingga 18 November 2020, 1,561 kes (3.1 – 6.5 peratus) telah berjaya dikesan dan disahkan positif COVID-19 dengan menggunakan kaedah  penilaian kesihatan kendiri; dan
  • Pengesanan kontak rapat melalui semakan data oleh Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah (PKD) dengan pangkalan data MySejahtera. Pengguna yang berpotensi sebagai kontak rapat kepada kes positif COVID-19 akan dikesan melalui aplikasi ini. Sehingga 18 November 2020, sebanyak 7,606 kes COVID-19 (15.1 – 37.8 peratus) telah dikesan positif melalui kaedah pengesanan kontak menggunakan MySejahtera.

Sehingga 18 November 2020, jumlah keseluruhan kes yang dikenal pasti positif COVID-19 melalui penggunaan aplikasi MySejahtera adalah 9,167 kes. Secara puratanya, kes yang dikesan adalah 18.2- 44.3 peratus (peratusan berubah dari semasa ke semasa kerana ia bergantung kepada jumlah kes harian serta jumlah kes yang menggunakan MySejahtera).

Untuk tujuan pengesanan kontak, data MySejahtera yang diperlukan akan disalurkan kepada PKD untuk membantu aktiviti lapangan. Data tersebut akan dianalisa bersama-sama dengan penemuan siasatan lapangan dan seterusnya menyumbang kepada aktiviti pengesanan kontak. Data-data pengesanan kontak dikumpul melalui modul MySejahtera Check-In di mana rekod kehadiran pengunjung disimpan melalui imbasan kod QR yang dipaparkan di semua premis.

Sebagai contoh, untuk Kluster Utama, seramai 17,260 pengguna telah dikenal pasti melalui aplikasi MySejahtera sebagai pengunjung ke pusat membeli belah terlibat dalam suatu tempoh masa tertentu. Daripada jumlah itu, seramai 1,343 individu telah dikenal pasti untuk penilaian lanjut oleh PKD, di mana 457 orang telah disahkan sebagai kontak rapat kepada kes positif Kluster Utama. Ujian persampelan seterusnya mengesahkan seramai 221 kes positif COVID-19 daripada 457 individu yang merupakan kontak rapat. Daripada 236 kes positif COVID-19 bagi Kluster Utama yang diumumkan pada hari yang sama,  221 kes adalah berjaya dikesan menggunakan aplikasi pintar MySejahtera (93 peratus).

Untuk makluman, aplikasi MySejahtera menerapkan ciri-ciri keselamatan yang mematuhi piawaian global untuk melindungi kerahsiaan dan keselamatan data. Data yang dikumpul melalui Mysejahtera adalah bagi tujuan pengesanan kontak sahaja dengan punca kuasa di bawah “Akta Pencegahan dan Pengawalan Penyakit Berjangkit 1988” dan “Akta Perubatan 1971”. Maklumat peribadi pengguna yang dikumpulkan juga dilindungi oleh “Akta Perlindungan Data Peribadi 2010”. Data Check-In yang dikumpulkan akan diarkibkan selepas 30 hari dan akan dihapuskan selepas 90 hari.

NASIHAT KESIHATAN BERKAITAN COVID-19

KKM ingin menasihati orang ramai agar terus patuhi saranan serta nasihat-nasihat kesihatan yang sering ditekankan iaitu;

  • Elakkan 3S: (elakkan kawasan yang sesak, sempit dan sembang dengan jarak yang dekat).
  • Amalkan 3W: (Amalkan Wash, Wear dan Warn)

Patuhlah kepada S.O.P sebagai normal baharu. KKM akan terus memantau perkembangan kejadian jangkitan di dalam negara, dan juga luar negara melalui maklumat yang diperolehi daripada pihak 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.

All these cases were admitted into the Enche’ Besar Hajjah Khalsom Hospital, Johor.

A total of 9,167 COVID-19 Cases Successfully Detected Through the MySejahtera Application

The MySejahtera app was launched by the Government on 20 April 2020 to assist in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since its launch, this app has received a very encouraging response from the general public. As of 18 November 2020, the MySejahtera app has successfully reached 23,953,970 registered users and dependents, and 1,058,853 registered business premises.

To date, MySejahtera has recorded 1.7 billion in cumulative check-ins to registered premises using the QR code scans, with an average of 15 million check-ins per day. In addition, it has also helped answer 523,000 user queries. This app has obtained a 4.7-star rating in the Apple Store and Google Playstore.

The MySejahtera app has assisted MOH in detecting confirmed COVID-19 cases through the following two ways:

  • User’s health self-assessment, where COVID-19 cases are detected when a person assesses his/her risk of COVID-19 based on the criteria in the MOH guidelines. As of 18 November 2020, a total of 1,561 cases (3.1 to 6.5%) have been successfully detected and confirmed positive for COVID-19 using the self-assessment module; and
  • Tracing of close contacts through data review by the District Health Office (PKD) of the MySejahtera database. Users who are potential close contacts to confirmed COVID-19 cases can be traced through this app. As of 18 November 2020, a total of 7,606 COVID-19 cases (15.1 to 37.8%) have been detected through contact tracing using the MySejahtera.

As of 18 November 2020, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases detected through the use of the MySejahtera app is 9,167 cases. On average, the cases detected are 18.2 to 44.3% (the percentage changes from time to time as it depends on the number of daily cases as well as the number of cases using the MySejahtera app).

For contact tracing purposes, the required MySejahtera data will be channeled to the PKD to assist in the field activities. The data will be analysed together with the findings of the field investigation, and further contribute to contact tracing activities. Contact tracing data is collected through the MySejahtera Check-In module, where users’ attendance records are stored via the QR code scan displayed at all premises.

For example, for the Utama Cluster, a total of 17,260 users were identified through the MySejahtera app as visitors to the mall involved during the specified period of time. Of that number, 1,343 individuals were identified for further evaluation by the PKD, of which 457 individuals were confirmed as close contacts to the confirmed cases of the Utama Cluster. Subsequent sampling tests detected a total of 221 confirmed COVID-19 cases of out of the 457 individuals who were close contacts. Of the 236 confirmed COVID-19 cases for the Utama Cluster announced on that single day, 221 cases were successfully detected using the MySejahtera app (93%).

MOH would like to inform that the MySejahtera app implements security features that comply with global standards to protect the confidentiality and security of data. The data collected through the Mysejahtera app is for the purpose of contact tracing only, using the authority under the “Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988” and “Medical Act 1971”. The personal information of users collected is also protected by the “Personal Data Protection Act 2010”. The collected Check-In data will be archived after 30 days and will be deleted after 90 days.

Health Advisory on COVID-19

MOH advices the public to continue to comply to the recommendations and health advisories that are often emphasised:

  • Avoid the 3Cs: Avoid Crowded places; Confined spaces; and Close conversations.
  • Practice the 3Ws: Wash, Wearand Warn.

Comply with the SOPs as the new normal. 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 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.
