First and foremost, I would like to record my deepest appreciation for the incredibly diligent and dedicated folks across the healthcare system in Malaysia who are doing a tremendous job in this very challenging period. Their work ethic and dedication to the cause are second to none.
On Feb 27, 2020, I started exhibiting symptoms, namely fever and a cough. That afternoon, I went to the SJMC outpatient centre to get myself tested as I was concerned that I had dengue fever. While there, I also specifically requested for the Covid-19 test. After doing the test, I went home and stayed home. On Feb 28, in the evening, I received my first round of test results stating that I had tested positive.
The second wave of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia are linked to me, that I think is clear. But being linked to me and having originated from me are two entirely different things. The health ministry is still working diligently and must be applauded for continuing to search for Patient Zero. I was at several meetings from Feb 21 to 27 with individuals who have since been confirmed positive for the Covid-19 disease. As I mentioned, the health ministry is still searching for Patient Zero.
In Malaysia, on Jan 25, a week after I arrived home from Shanghai, the health ministry issued an advisory for Malaysia to postpone or avoid travel to China. On Jan 30, the World Health Organization, as a result of the novel coronavirus, officially declared a “public health emergency of international concern”. This all happened well after I returned from Shanghai.
