It’s a sign of pandemic fatigue when Malaysians lose sight of the end goal where they become less adherent to SOPs, experts said.

Retail manager Mohd Faizal Farouk, 35, is alarmed at the rising number of Covid-19 cases and feels that MCO 3.0 is inevitable. But, he admitted that he feels stressed and depressed when he thinks about another MCO.

Subramaniam, 27, from Petaling Jaya, said he’s often had to share tables with strangers when dining out at a coffee shop or restaurant just before the latest MCO was implemented.

“With vaccines now available, people seem to have to become more relaxed and less observant about social distancing. Although this demonstrates the trust that people have on vaccines, adhering to SOPs is still important, ” she emphasised. “Even though the vaccine will protect most people from getting infected with Covid-19, a small proportion of fully vaccinated people will still contract it even after receiving all the required vaccine doses, said Dr Nik Daliana.

She emphasised that the public needs to be reminded that high-risk environments such as crowded indoor places with poor ventilation such as air-conditioned restaurants and close-contact settings such as meetings still pose a danger to infection and must be avoided at all costs – even if they've been vaccinated.“Parents, local leaders and socially influential individuals must show excellent examples by observing the SOPs.

Msia perlukan leaders who can finish the job. Bukan celebrate seblum victory. KerajaanGagal is making things worse every day they are in power. Sudah2 la tu. Nak bawak ke mana duit tu? 🇲🇾🇲🇾

Pandemic fatigue? Hahahaha.. what a 'scintillating' assumption. It's somewhat clear Malaysians have had enough of the shenanigans propagated by government officials. They gradually develop civil disobedience due to preferential treatment.

Especially when some of them make no sense. 1 trick pony. On or off button only. Not learnt very much in 12 months. Allowing big gatherings creates spikes. N now everyone paying for it.

Becoz they have not ‘kena’ covid…

Yelah..... Korang jer xpenat

More like we have govt incompetency fatigue

That's because Malaysia is choosing the la di da version of lockdowns. Not the strict versions that are a real circuit breaker or to break the chain. We just want to be chained along and that's where fatigue sets in. Where it feels futile and that it never ends.
