We should encourage each other to adhere to prevention measures for the next two to three years as the pandemic is not going away soon. FMTNews Covid19 SOP
We all know we are in this pandemic for the long haul and may need to maintain prevention measures for the next two to three years.
The reason we are in a better position than some other countries is due to the movement control order , the hard work and sacrifice by the staff of the health ministry and public cooperation. The first is to look out for all unlinked cases. These are individuals who test positive but are not linked to any cluster. For example, a person coming for an operation who tested positive , or a prisoner about to be transferred is tested positive.
A number of countries in our region have significantly increased testing capacity so that they can do large numbers of tests daily. We need to keep growing our testing capacity and exceed 100,000 tests a day to be able to deal with impending subsequent waves, if they come in greater numbers. We have allowed the resumption of larger religious gatherings and have yet to address the super spreading locations where people are in close proximity like prisons and migrant detention camps. All this suggests we have much to improve regarding safe physical distancing measures.The introduction of routine use of masks outside the home is a good and welcome measure in view of asymptomatic spread.
