KUALA LUMPUR: A third wave of Covid-19 infections may emerge if Ramadan bazaars are allowed because adequate social distancing is almost impossible to achieve at these popular bazaars, says medical experts.

"The Academy of Medicine Malaysia strongly disagrees with any plan to hold Ramadan bazaars this year, given the ongoing threat of Covid-19," said master Professor Dr Rosmawati Mohamed in a statement on Wednesday signed by all 11 AMM colleges.

Dr Rosmawati said the academy was of the opinion that adequate social distancing would be near-impossible to achieve given the popularity and the congestion that often seen at Ramadan bazaars."The premature easing of social distancing may potentially lead to a third wave of infections," she said. "A third wave will be a setback to any previous hard-earned gains since the enforcement of the movement control order on March 18. We, therefore, strongly urge the minister to ensure that business does not continue as usual, ” she said.

On Tuesday , Annuar said his ministry and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall were contemplating whether to approve any large-scale Ramadan bazaars after the MCO ends on April 14.

No...is NO! Just follow the instructions of the medical experts! You peeps in the government DO NOT hv the medical expertise to go against the EXPERTS! FAHAM?

Please. Listen. To. The. Experts.

Agreed. No bazaar create no waste or less.

I totally agree with it.

If the cabinet approves the bazaars, they must be held at the compound of ministers' residence.

Those with brains are never in the Govt.

Makes no absolute sense if the ramadhan bazaar is allowed to proceed, and an individual jogger is forbidden to jog.
