A total lockdown nationwide is not the answer to dealing with the rise in Covid-19 cases as it will result in economic collapse, a segment of the business community said yesterday.
Kang said a lockdown will only control the spread of the virus temporarily but there is no guarantee against further spikes.“With the present movement control order 2.0 , the nation is losing an estimated RM700 million a day, a lockdown will only make this worse,” Kang told theSun. On foreign workers spreading the virus, Kang said a better monitoring system is needed. Foreign workers tend to move around for jobs and action should have been taken earlier to deal with this, he added.“Better data analyses and communication for people to make informed risk assessments and orient their behaviour is a much more effective way to fight Covid-19. But such data analysis strategy is yet to be seen in Malaysia,” said its CEO Dr Carmelo Ferlito.
Of course total lockdown is not the long term solution but at this crucial and critical moment we at least need a short total lock down to decrease the cases so economy can resume to the peak again not like the current situation all are half hearted enforcement.
