FIRSTLY, let me express our deepest gratitude to our director-general of health for the exemplary and decisive manner in which he and his team has managed the Covid-19 crisis. Them and to the untiring efforts of all frontliners, this country owes a debt of gratitude.
Let us start with who should be coming to work. Employers should be educated on a do-it-yourself route mapping that enables full disclosure. Where have you gone, who visited you, any relatives infected? If you live in designated red zones, it must be mandatory that you go for a Covid-19 test and is given the all-clear.
What is the SOP while at work? Common sense will dictate, that sit-down meetings will still pose a risk, so online would be more appropriate. Make it compulsory for employees to wear masks and gloves. Provide advice on personal movements during lunch and after work. For instance, where to eat or not to eat, minimise social gatherings in crowded venues. Meet people whose movement history is known. How and when to sanitise your workplace.
A definitive communication game plan needs to be developed. It is rather appalling that no form of awareness campaign was initiated during this crisis. Post-MCO, government should embark on a campaign highlighting key messages. We have a strong creative knowledge base. Instead of a tender, engage with stakeholders via professional organisations, like the Malaysian advertising agencies to media and digital associations and empower their executive members to fast-track the process.
Let us take the hotel industry. Penang and Langkawi are Covid-19 free to a certain extent. Promote local tourism first. The government can give a red packet of RM100, or tiered depending on star rating for every room night. A budget of RM20-40 million for two months can be a lifeline to them. This is based on 10,000 room nights for 20 days of full occupancy. In reality, it will be less. Hotels give guests the appropriate red packets and then claim back from the government.
