MP SPEAKS | The tests conducted by South Korea were intrusive. But they worked.
| South Korea conducted rapid tests for Covid-19 on thousands of people a day, including those who were asymptomatic.
And turning away people with a high fever, sore throat and cough just because they are not sure of contact history isn’t a prudent thing to do anymore. So, instead of waiting until the last minute, the government must already be looking into avenues to import ventilators, personal protective equipment , ICU beds and ECMOs .
But this can be mitigated by hiring the 7,000 trainee doctors who are jobless and recruiting doctors who work in the armed forces.In an effort to curb transmission, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced a movement control order , which emphasised on the need for social distancing, banned travel and ordered the shut down of businesses and government offices, except for essential services.
It is yet to take into consideration the unhygienic living standards and cramped living conditions that make social distancing impossible. And the 10 million masks from China should be given to frontline health workers and vulnerable communities in the country.
