We can't expect the health ministry or the government to do it all. FMTNews Covid19 Coronavirus Malaysia Malaysian

The Covid-19 outbreak is now a full-blown pandemic. In Malaysia, we are beginning to see extensive spread with cases in all states. No longer is travel history or contact with a known case of value, as Covid-19 is spreading in the community. We have to assume it is in our neighbourhood.

We need to act together and not resort to panicking. We need to be concerned and use that worry to “get our act together”. We cannot just expect the health ministry or the government to do it all; they cannot. Social responsibility on our part is what will make the difference between mindless panic and a nation that rises to meet this challenge together.We must work together as a nation to mute the epidemic, retard its spread.

Even MOH press briefings on coronavirus must institute a 1m distancing for reporters and staff. Social distancing measures will be difficult for everyone but can be achieved if we all work together as a community and support each other.Keeping our hands clean when we are out of the home is critical. Always carry an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. Avoid kissing, shaking hands, hugging or touching others unless that is absolutely necessary. Don’t touch any surface unless absolutely necessary.

There is some evidence for Covid–19 to spread by stool . Flushing of the toilet should be done with the lid down and toilet bowl covers should be cleaned periodically. We then choose a corner table or open-air section, distancing ourselves from others, and clean the surface of the table with an alcohol spray using a paper kitchen towel.
