Day 5 of Malaysia Movement Control Order (MCO)

Day 5 of Malaysia Movement Control Order (MCO)

A lot has changed since we started to stay home under the MCO. The most shocking news yesterday was the 4 new death cases announced by the Ministry of Health (MOH), making the cumulative death of Covid-19 in Malaysia to hit 8. Despite more than a hundred patients have been discharged, there are still many being treated in isolation and in the intensive care unit (ICU) as reported.

Every day I received SMS from the government to stay at home, maintain good hygiene and request for the Tabligh to surrender for a medical check. Some stubborn people still out there and yet to report to the hospital. These are the people who are causing us to stay at home, economy standstill and more seriously, putting everyone in contact at risk! The worse is when I read about news of these people keeping secret of their participation at the gathering and causing the entire hospital to close down for disinfection. This kind of person is so selfish. Religion and moral doesn't teach us to tell lie and cause harm to others. I personally classify them as a criminal during the pandemic time. Heavy prosecution is a MUST!

So far, the government is trying their very best to contain the virus. All the front liners are doing a great job to protect us all. Even the army has been deployed early this morning to assist the police. The situation is not what some people have been sharing on Whatsapp and social media. Everyone is trying their best to help to save our country. We encounter the officers at the morning market. There are very polite asking everyone to quickly buy what is needed and go home. They were controlling the entrance and exit so that everyone can maintain a distance. I see law and order carried out effectively here. So please stop forwarding news that doesn't come from the officials and you don't even know the origin source. We have enough trouble, don't create more issues by spreading fake news!

Even our favorite McDonald's responding to the government MCO with maximum precautions taken. Well done, McDonald's.

Customers will have to queue outside the restaurant and temperature has to be taken before allowed to enter

The kiosks were being sanitized after every order.

Dedicated markings on the floor for customers to wait for their order.

McD staffs @ Taman Sri Gombak, keep up the good work!

As of now, all my friends and family are doing fine and trying to make full use of the time given at home with love ones. Since we just started the MCO a few days ago, we should continue to monitor our health, just in case we have exposed to any contacts at work before 18th March.

Choe says, take care!
