Hardly a week into the New Year, we were shaken by an explosion of record breaking 3,027 Covid-19 new cases on Thursday and 2,643 cases yesterday. The highest since the first Covid-19 cases were detected in Malaysia in December 2019.
To weather the stormy days ahead, PM is expected to address the nation on Monday, 11 January
The steep spike started last year during the Sabah PRK. It never slows down since then, but continued to worsen until yesterday with 2,643 new cases.
To curb the situation from spiraling out of control, a drastic and strategic measures have to be taken by the Government. A PKP or PKPD has to be imposed in the red zones and certain states to halt the inter-district and interstate free movements which contributed much to the current upsurge.
Only the essential services be allowed to operate with tighter SOPs. Companies staff should WFM or be allowed to work in offices or factories with special Police permits. For the rest of us, just stay at home and look after our good health until we successfully flatten the curve again and get vaccinated, hopefully by next month (February) or middle of this year.
May Allah Bless All Of Us
