MCO extended until April 28, PM announces (updated)

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has announced that the movement control order will be extended by another two weeks, from April 15 to April 28, to curb the spread of Covid-19.

"This extension is to give room for healthcare workers to combat Covid-19 and prevent a re-emergence. Malaysia's death rate from Covid-19 is also at 1.6%, way below the world's death rate of 5.8%, said the Prime Minister.The first phase of the MCO, which was introduced to break the chain of Covid-19 infection, was from March 18 to 31, followed by the second phase from April 1 to 14.Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamuálaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dan salam sejahtera.

Terima kasih juga saya ucapkan kepada doktor dan jururawat di hospital swasta. Ketika hospital kerajaan sibuk merawat pesakit COVID 19, hospital swasta menerima pesakit-pesakit bukan COVID 19 untuk dirawat. Begitu juga kepada anda yang bekerja menghantar makanan. Samada grab food, food panda atau lain-lain. Anda mengambil risiko. Orang lain duduk di rumah, anda keluar rumah untuk pastikan orang lain boleh makan. Anda melakukan satu pekerjaan yang mulia. Pesan saya, jaga kesihatan, jaga keselamatan, jangan bawa motor laju-laju. Anda juga insan yang hebat.

Hari ini sahaja jumlah pesakit yang pulih ialah seramai 220 orang, melebihi jumlah kes positif baharu iaitu sebanyak 118 kes. Jumlah kes positif baharu juga telah menunjukkan penurunan sejak beberapa hari yang lalu. Jika trend penurunan ini berterusan untuk tempoh dua minggu akan datang, insyaAllah kita akan dapat mengawal wabak COVID-19 ini daripada menular. Namun begitu, kita tidak boleh mengambil mudah situasi yang sedang berlaku.

Tindakan ini adalah selaras dengan pandangan WHO yang menyarankan negaranegara supaya tidak menamatkan perintah kawalan pergerakan terlalu awal. Sepertimana yang berlaku di beberapa buah negara, penularan wabak ini meningkat semula apabila perintah kawalan pergerakan ditamatkan. Cucu lebih lagilah sayangnya. Jadi, sekolah mungkin tidak akan dibuka lebih awal. Kita mungkin akan tangguhkan dahulu sesi persekolah sehinggakan kita benar-benar yakin keadaan telah kembali pulih.
