As a medical personnel, it is disheartening to come across so many recent cases in the media, as well as personally, where patients are not forthcoming regarding their links to Covid-19 clusters and contacts.
Nevertheless, cases of the general public and even healthcare personnel concealing their links to Covid-19 sources have irresponsibly and unnecessarily led to many hospital department shutdowns and placed frontliners directly in harm’s way. These include, unfortunately, medical personnel who have contributed to these unforgivable crimes. There are far too many cases still occurring still despite our pleas, and this is totally unacceptable.
The organisers of such events should also be held liable and accountable for their actions regardless of race or religion. I commend the authorities for their swift arrest and detention of the returning participants of the religious event in Sulawesi. More should and must be done. With the continuous rise in cases and fatalities which show no sign of abating, I plead with our fellow Malaysians to be forthcoming with your risks and exposure. As a line going viral among healthcare personnel goes, “I stay at work for you while you stay at home for us”.
