Thank you for your question

I understand your concern regarding this issue of coronavirus since there’s an outbreak of the virus.

From your given situation, the suspected case should be adviced to visit the nearest screening hospital and to be quarantined for at least 14 days. Please urgently inform you colleague to contact the nearest Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah or your local CPRC or contact MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

In the meantime, it is very crucial for you to follow this step from Centre of Disease Control (CDC) to prevent from contracting or spreading the virus:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

Thank you for your question.
