Wards with Positive Cases will be Locked Down

A ward with a positive COVID-19 case will be locked down and patients will be barred from returning home. However, the ward’s staff and doctors, staff who serve meals and cleaners are allowed to go home. This was underlined by Yang Berhormat at the question and answer session.

The Minister of Health explained that even though doctors are allowed to go home, they must adhere to several stipulated Standard Operating Procedures, and they are only allowed to work where they are issued with the Quarantine Order. Meanwhile, the Minister of Health stated that the country will experience an endemic situation, but what is important is that the community is ready to face it and make preparations inline with the endemic situation.
