Good News But The War Against Covid 19 Is Not Over

---

CORONAVIRUS | Malaysia recorded the lowest number of new positive Covid-19 cases yesterday, with only 15, since the movement control order (MCO) was imposed on March 18
Interestingly, this number of new cases was a drastic drop from the 187 positive cases the day before which involved mostly foreigners
This situation breathes hope that the country will soon be free of Covid-19, with the help of the frontliners who worked hard to break the chain of infections of the killer disease
Even so, the cooperation of the people is critical and they have to be disciplined and practise proper hygiene, as well as observe the standard operating procedure (SOP) set during the Conditional MCO (CMCO) period
In a press conference held yesterday, Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the Health Ministry is worried about the possibility of a surge in Covid-19 cases, which could bring on a new wave of infections in the country if the people were complacent and did not comply with the SOP
He said the ministry was worried that this may happen as a result of people paying social visits, travelling across states and interacting to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Under the CMCO, the people have been given some leeway, but they must be cautious and not complacent over the situation as the war against COVID-19 is not over
It is a disease without symptoms, so people should seek immediate medical attention if they feel unwell
The public has to play their part in fighting it. Do not let all the efforts of the frontliners, who are tirelessly fighting the disease, to go to waste
