The new normal after April 14 – a checklist
The government, the society and the nation, need to work out how to “reopen” without causing a new bout of coronavirus transmissions.
The suppression/containment strategy via MCO is meant to “buy time” to avoid any sudden exponential spikes of cases which would result in the collapse of the health system like what had happened in Italy. We have tested 40,000; if we test 16,000 per day from 1st April, we would get another 224,000. Let’s set it higher at 300,000 and dynamically expand the tests to reach the target.
From the engagements of my team and my friends with hospitals in Klang Valley and Johor, most hospitals are still short of supply of personal protective equipment , masks and even sanitiser.We must ensure that our medical frontliners get to use masks before everyone else. That is basically the Health Ministry’s message all along which we have no objection.
When schools and offices reopen, social distancing measures must continue to be observed with regular temperature checks and proper hygiene standards kept.
