Now, a ray of hope is discernible through the plateauing trend of new Covid-19 cases, which has been somewhat consistent since March 27.
On Thursday, the World Health Organisation said Covid-19 cases in Malaysia were expected to peak in the middle of this month, with the number of critically ill patients expected to also peak in that week. “There are also those who went overseas during the recent school holidays , as well as those from the tabligh gathering who have yet to come forward.
Dr Malina said the MCO was crucial to pursue contact tracing, discover new clusters and weed out cases of people who returned from abroad, adding that it would also reduce the risk faced by healthcare workers from asymptomatic carriers. “Identifying new cases requires an incubation of about 14 days. A person who is already infected can create new clusters of infection during this period,” she said, adding that the number of cases at this point did not necessarily give a full picture of the situation.
“As the virus is still present in the environment, clusters of new cases are like time bombs waiting to explode. “The priority for Malaysians now is to have no new cases and be free of new infection clusters for 14 consecutive days.for Hari Raya this year,” Dr Malina said, drawing on decisions already made by some states that there would be no Ramadan bazaars this year.
