PETALING JAYA: All healthcare providers must maintain and adhere to the highest standards of infection control that is already in place to protect themselves in the line of duty in caring for their patients, says Dr N. Ganabaskaran.

The Malaysian Medical Association president said the healthcare providers - doctors, pharmacists, nurses, assistant medical officers, lab technologies and support staff - must take care of themselves at all times in reference to the four confirmed cases of Wuhan novel coronavirus in Malaysia.

"The public should not share unsubstantiated information that may create unnecessary fear and panic among the people. Advice by the ministry on precautions must also be taken seriously," he said in a statement on Sunday .
