(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Malaysia exceeds 2.5 million, the official said to be cautious to relax
China News Service, Kuala Lumpur, November 6 (Reporter Chen Yue) The Ministry of Health of Malaysia reported on the 6th that as of 12 noon on the 6th, the country had 4,701 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the past 24 hours. Up to now, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Malaysia has reached 2501996.
Since November, the number of newly confirmed cases in Malaysia has remained at around 5,000 in a single day, maintaining the trend of gradual reduction in the epidemic since the beginning of October.
Malaysian Health Minister Hairi Jamaluddin emphasized in Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan, that Malaysia’s epidemic prevention is “close to success”, but the public must continue to abide by the epidemic prevention measures and gradually loosen the restrictions with a cautious attitude to prevent the epidemic from rebounding. .
Ha’iri said that if he loosens too quickly and rushes to return to daily life as in Europe, the number of confirmed cases will increase again. “We must learn from the situation in Europe.”
At present, most states in Malaysia have entered the final stage of the “unblocking road map” national recovery plan-the fourth stage, only Kelantan and Sarawak are still in the third stage. There are differences in lenient and strict anti-epidemic measures at various stages, but they still maintain certain restrictions on social distancing and public gatherings.
Ha’iri visited the Kelantan Hospital that same day and pointed out that Kelantan had a positive rate of 16% on November 3, ranking first in the country. He hoped to understand the reasons for this through field inspections of medical facilities.
Although the number of confirmed cases has fallen recently, the state of Malacca will usher in a state election this month, the Sarawak State Assembly has also been dissolved, and a state election will soon be ushered in. Since the number of confirmed cases in Malaysia after the election in Sabah last year rose rapidly, the two state elections this year have also attracted attention. The Ministry of Health of Malaysia has also repeatedly emphasized that all parties to the campaign must abide by the epidemic prevention regulations. On the 2nd of this month, the Ministry of Health announced that it had issued fines to former prime ministers Najib and Muhyiddin for failing to maintain social distancing during the Malacca election campaign.
