Every Malaysian must act responsibly as the MCO restrictions are partially lifted — G25
Sunday, 03 May 2020 01:38 PM MYT
We should take note that some countries that relaxed the restrictions too soon have seen a second wave of the pandemic returning to kill more lives. There are reports from university research in the West that the Covid-19 virus may remain active and contagious for another year or two. The vaccine to treat the disease will take, even with the most optimistic outlook at least twelve to eighteen months from now to be introduced for use across the world.
We call upon the government to take a humanitarian approach in examining their health conditions because the high-handed style raids and mass arrests will be counter-productive, because this will deter them from coming forward to get tested. The longer the delay in determining their health status, the more difficult it is to know the trend of the pandemic and to contain and end it.
The Malaysian public has grown accustomed to the discipline of the stay-at-home order under the MCO to take self-distancing and personal hygiene seriously as the most effective means of winning the war against the Covid-19 pandemic.
