Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said novel coronavirus infections in Malaysia were isolated cases and there was no evidence it was in the community.“If there is evidence of novel coronavirus incidents in the community, then we have to take more stringent measures .
It is learnt that most schools in the Klang Valley had not been provided with face masks or hand sanitisers after schools reopened after the Lunar New Year holiday. Schools were provided with face masks during the influenza outbreak last month. Several private and boarding schools in Australia isolated students who visited China and placed them in separate living quarters.
“Hopefully, we can contain it . That’s the objective. But we must also bear in mind that sometimes containment may fail. So it is crucial for everyone to have good hygiene. He said while this was a fast-spreading disease, coronavirus patients could recover even without treatment, similar to influenza patients.
