KUALA LUMPUR: To contain further spread of Covid-19 in Malaysia, Mercy Malaysia today called on the Rohingya ethnic group who were at the Ijtimak Tabligh gathering at the Sri Petaling Mosque from Feb 28 to March 1, to come forward for Covid-19 screening.
Programme Operations general manager Mohammad Said Alhudzari Ibrahim said it is estimated that about 500 Rohingya people had joined the tabligh gathering and some of them have been identified.
He said though some have undergone health screening, others have refused to do so as they feared they would be arrested by the authorities should they report themselves for the testing.
So far, no Covid-19 positive cases have been identified from among this group.
“For those who are afraid to come for screening, Mercy Malaysia will contact the nearest District Health Office for further action, once we have the information,“ he said when contacted by Bernama today.
Mohammad Said Alhudzari said in tracking down the Rohingya Muslims, Mercy Malaysia was working in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMARET), Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA), National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC), Ministry of Health (MOH) and Taiwan Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation (Tzu Chi).
He said should any of the Rohingya people is found to be Covid-19 positive, Mercy Malaysia would ensure that their family members are quarantined and food aid would be given to them.
“Money raised for the Covid-19 Pandemic Fund launched on March 18, will be used for this purpose,” he added. – Bernama

PUTRAJAYA: Most of the Covid-19-related deaths in the country are due to late treatment, according to Health director-general Datuk Seri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pix).
He said there were five stages of Covid-19 infection but most of them came to hospital when they were already at stage three.
“Stage one is where a person is asymptomatic but positive, while stage two is positive with mild symptom and stage three is when a patient has some form of pneumonia but does not require oxygen aid.
“In stage four, a patient will require oxygen therapy and the last stage (stage five) is when patients cannot breathe well and we need to intubate them and put them on ventilator,” he told a media briefing today.
Dr Noor Hisham also explained that in most stage four patients, their health would deteriorate fast to move to stage five.
“For example, the latest death, the patient already had breathing difficulty for the last three days,” he said.
He also said that besides late for treatment, age and comorbidities were also among factors that contributed to the Covid-19-related death.
“Some of the death cases had comorbidities and most of them were above 70 years old,” he said.
Meanwhile, Dr Noor Hisham said the MOH would enhance its case detection activities.
“It means we will find the case, we test the case, and if it is confirmed, we isolate the case and give treatment.
“We will continue to do our best to look into the focus group. For example, now we know that 60% of the infection are among the tabligh group. We will go and find them and test them,” he said, adding it was to ensure the individuals from the group would not infect others. – Bernama
