#Malaysia total lockdown full
“As a result of the government’s decision to execute full economic and social shutdown, the finance ministry will detail assistance packages for the people and affected economic sectors,” PMO stated, adding these would be announced in the very near future. “The government will also increase the number of vaccine deliveries in the space of the next few weeks in the effort to develop herd immunity in the country. The government will ensure the Malaysian public health system will not crumble and that support and assistance will be given to the health ministry to increase hospital capacity, said the PMO.
However, the decision to move from one phase to the next will be subject to the health ministry’s risk assessment, and will be based on the daily caseloads and the hospitals’ capacity to treat COVID-19 patients. “Once the phase 2 lockdown ends, the next step is phase 3, which is implementing a movement control order (MCO) similar to the current one in effect, where social activities are not allowed and nearly all economic sectors are allowed to operate subject to strict standard operating procedures and limited physical presence at workplaces,” the PMO said. If the phase 1 total lockdown is successful in reducing daily COVID-19 cases, the government will implement a four-week phase 2 lockdown by allowing the re-opening of a few economic sectors that do not involve large gatherings. Whilst Malaysias initial containment effort was commendable, we have just witnessed the largest one-day increase in the number of confirmed CoVid-19. With the sharp rise in the daily number of COVID-19 cases, hospitals’ capacity to treat patients throughout the country are “becoming more limited”, the statement added. The emergence of more virulent COVID-19 variants also influenced the NSC’s decision to implement the lockdown. More than 2,550 people in Malaysia have died from the disease. “This decision was made after taking into account the current situation of COVID-19 transmission in Malaysia with daily case numbers exceeding 8,000 and active cases exceeding 70,000,” the statement read. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Malaysia’s prime minister announced on Friday a near-total coronavirus lockdown in the country, with social and economic activities to be halted for two weeks to. Only essential economic and service sectors listed by the National Security Council (NSC) will be allowed to operate during Phase 1 of the lockdown, said the statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). These are statistics that should make everyone’s blood boil. There have been 243 deaths in the last four days alone. A total of 69,408 are still grappling with the disease, 771 are in the ICU, 392 ventilated and 2,491 dead. This move was announced in a media statement posted on Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s Facebook page on Friday night. As of yesterday, we had 541,224 Malaysians diagnosed with Covid-19.
The first phase of the lockdown will last from June 1 to 14. KUALA LUMPUR (CNA) – Malaysia will close all economic and social sectors by implementing a “total lockdown” throughout the country.
