1) Brief History On The Emergence Of
Covid-19 in
a) The Global World

Currently, people all over the world have been affected by

coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is the fifth pandemic
after the 1918 flu pandemic. As of now, we can trace the first report
and subsequent outbreak from a cluster of novel human
pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, China, since late December 2019.
The earliest date of symptom onset was 1 December 2019. The
symptomatology of these patients, including fever, malaise, dry
cough, and dyspnea, was diagnosed as viral pneumonia .Initially,
the disease was called Wuhan pneumonia by the press because of
the area and pneumonia symptoms. Whole-genome sequencing
results showed that the causative agent is a novel coronavirus.
Therefore, this virus is the seventh member of the coronavirus
family to infect humans .The World Health Organization (WHO)
temporarily termed the new virus 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-
 nCoV) on 12 January 2020 and then officially named this infectious
disease coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on 12 February
2020. Later, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses
(ICTV) officially designated the virus as SARS-CoV-2 based on
phylogeny, taxonomy and established practice. Subsequently,
human-to-human transmission of COVID-19 occurring within
Hong Kong has been shown in clinical data. Since COVID-19
initially emerged in China, the virus has evolved for four months
and rapidly spread to other countries worldwide as a global threat.
On 11 March 2020, the WHO finally made the assessment that
COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic, following 1918
Spanish flu (H1N1), 1957 Asian flu (H2N2), 1968 Hong Kong flu
(H3N2), and 2009 Pandemic flu (H1N1), which caused an estimated
50 million, 1.5 million, 1 million, and 300,000 human deaths,
respectively.

b) Malaysia
 th
On the 25  January 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was detected in
Malaysia and traced back to 3 Chinese nationals who previously had
close contact with an infected person in Singapore .They had travelled
th
into Malaysia via Singapore on the 24  January 2020. They were treated
at Sungai Buloh Hospital, Selangor, Malaysia. The MOH quickly devised
standard guidelines for the management of COVID-19 and 34 hospitals
and screening centers were specifically designated in each state of
Malaysia [including Kuala Lumpur Hospital (Kuala Lumpur), Sungai
Buloh Hospital (Selangor), Tuanku Jaafar Hospital (Negeri Sembilan),
Sultanah Aminah Hospital (Johor Bahru), Miri Hospital (Sarawak),
Tawau Hospital (Sabah).

th
The first Malaysian was confirmed with COVID-19 on the 4  February
2020. The 41-year old man had recently returned from Singapore when he
started to develop a fever and a cough. He was quarantined at Sungai
Buloh Hospital, Selangor. On the same day, a 4-year-old Chinese national
girl who had been isolated at Sultanah Maliha Hospital, Langkawi, since
th
the 29  January 2020, had recovered, been discharged and was allowed to
return to China. In Malaysia, this was the first patient who had recovered
from COVID-19 since the outbreak began.

A 40-year old female Malaysian was reported positive for COVID-19 on the
th
6  February 2020. She had no travel history to infected areas, however, she
was the younger sister of the 41-year old man confirmed as positive with the
th
virus on the 4  February 2020. She was the first COVID-19 patient in
Malaysia who contracted the virus via local transmission. She developed a
st
fever and a sore throat on 1  February 2020 and developed a cough the
following day. She was isolated at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar,
rd th
on the 3  February 2020. On 12  March 2020, Malaysia reported its first
sporadic case of COVID-19 where the infected person neither travelled to an
affected area nor had contact with an infected person.
In March 2020, the number of reported COVID-19 cases grew relatively
slowly until a religious event took place at Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur,
which led to an exponential rise in cases. A few weeks after the event,
Malaysia recorded the highest number of positive cases of COVID-19 in

South East Asia. The religious mass gathering was a 4-day event with
16,000 people participating, including 1,500 from outside Malaysia. The
spread of COVID-19 to other states of Malaysia and neighboring countries
such as Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines
and Vietnam was propagated. Sporadic cases of transmission within the
local community were reported. A 53-year-old man who attended the
religious event was confirmed as positive after returning Brunei. He was the
first positive case of COVID-19 that was detected in Tutong, Brunei on
th th
9  March 2020. His symptoms began to develop on 7  March 2020, and he
was isolated at the National Isolation Centre in Tutong for treatment.
2) Latest Information Of Covid-19
Infections And Deaths In
a) The Global World
PARIS: The novel coronavirus has killed at least 766,228 people since the
outbreak emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official
sources compiled by AFP at 1100 GMT on Sunday.

At least 21,500,350 cases have been registered in 196 countries and

territories. Of these, at least 13,205,100 are now considered recovered.

The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and
information from the World Health OrganiSation (WHO), probably reflect
only a fraction of the actual number of infections.

Many countries are testing only symptomatic or the most serious cases.

On Saturday, 5,663 new deaths and 264,102 new cases were recorded
worldwide. Based on latest reports, the countries with the most new deaths
were the United States with 1,105 new deaths, followed by India with 944,
and Brazil with 709.

The United States is the worst-hit country with 169,489 deaths from 5,361,613
cases. At least 1,818,527 people have been declared recovered.
After the US, the hardest-hit countries are Brazil with 107,232 deaths from
3,317,096 cases, Mexico with 56,543 deaths from 517,714 cases, India with
49,980 deaths from 2,589,682 cases, and the United Kingdom with 41,361
deaths from 317,379 cases.

The country with the highest number of deaths compared to its population
is Belgium with 86 fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by Peru (79),
Spain 61, the United Kingdom 61, and Italy 59.

China – excluding Hong Kong and Macau – has to date declared 84,808
cases, including 4,634 deaths, and 79,519 recoveries.

Latin America and the Caribbean overall has 240,071 deaths from 6,111,270
cases, Europe 210,374 deaths from 3,509,567 infections, and the United
States and Canada 178,549 deaths from 5,483,457 cases.

Asia has reported 79,406 deaths from 3,940,731 cases, Middle East 32,068
deaths from 1,319,087 cases, Africa 25,331 deaths from 1,110,768 cases, and
Oceania 429 deaths from 25,476 cases.
As a result of corrections by national authorities or late publication of data,
the figures updated over the past 24 hours may not correspond exactly to
the previous day's tallies.

b) MALAYSIA
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia recorded seven new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday (Aug
18), of which three are local cases.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said of the three
local cases, two were related to the Sala cluster while one was from the Tawar
cluster.

The four import cases involve two Malaysians and two non-nationals who
were infected abroad.

Three of them returned from Bangladesh, while one arrived from the United
Kingdom.

Cumulatively, the country has a total of 9,219 infections.

Dr Noor Hisham also said 26 more cases had been discharged, which means
8,902 patients have recovered from Covid-19 in Malaysia since the outbreak
began.

This translates to a recovery rate of 96.6% out of the total number of cases
in the country.

The number of active cases has now gone down to 192.

Currently, there are eight people treated at intensive care units (ICU) of
which two patients are on ventilator support.

Dr Noor Hisham announced no new deaths, which means the death toll
remains at 125 cases.

3 . WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO STOP THE

SPREAD OF COVID-19

a) by the global world

COVID-19 is a global threat that requires a global response involving all
countries. Governments should be responsible for providing exact
information to help the public face this novel infection. To decrease the
damage connected with COVID-19, public health and infection control
actions are immediately necessary to limit the global spread of the virus.
Some Global strategies are discussed below to prevention and control
COVID-19 disease.

1.1. Restricting mass gathering

Preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission by restricting mass gathering is an

important objective of public health care system. COVID-19 is spread from
person to person through direct contact. Thus, the spread of respiratory
illnesses during the mass gathering is a major public health concerns with
the potential of distribution of these infectious diseases. Based on earlier
knowledge of MERS and SARS infections, the WHO in order to reduce the
general risk of transmission of COVID-19 has recommended some
precautionary measures such as avoiding close contact with people suffering
from acute respiratory illness, regular hand washing with soap & water or
hand sanitizer particularly after direct contact with sick people or their
environment, maintaining cough etiquette, and avoiding unprotected
contact with farm or wild animals etc. Govt. of different countries postponed
all types of religious, cultural, social, scientific, sport, and political mass
gathering events in different parts of the world. Some international events
such as Umrah, Hajj and the Olympic Games have already been suspended
in order to avoid mass gathering. Media and information technology are
providing significant support to the society for prevention and control of
COVID-19 outbreak. So, restricting mass gathering could be the primary
preventive strategy for COVID-19.

2.2. Medicine

The outbreak of COVID-19 has become a clinical threat to the common

population and healthcare workers worldwide. Since this is a very new virus,
much knowledge about this novel virus is therefore not available. So far,
there are no exact antiviral treatments or vaccines for COVID-19 disease.
Therefore, it is an urgent necessity of time to develop a safe and stable
COVID-19 vaccine. Anti-viral drugs like Chloroquine and
hydroxychloroquine have been found to be effective against COVID-19 in
laboratory studies and in-vivo studies. A recent study by Wang et al.
revealed that remdesivir and chloroquine were highly effective in the control
of 2019-nCoV in vitro. Since SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus, any vaccines,
effective against other RNA viruses such as measles, polio, encephalitis B and
influenza, could be the most promising alternatives. So, research will
continue to play an important role to discover new drugs or vaccines to
prevent and control the COVID-19 infections.

3.3. Forestation

According to World Wildlife Fund, forests cover more than 30% of the
Earth's land surface. The unstoppable growths in human population lead to
deforestation for resources, industries and land for agriculture or grazing.
Rising average temperature and ocean levels, and increased rate of extreme
weather events affect not only the global land and ecosystem, but also
human health. Deforestations are also linked to different types of disease
due to the birds, bat-borne viral outbreaks. COVID-19 is bat related
epidemic. To prevent this outbreak, billions of dollars are being spent to
developing diagnostic, treatment, and medicine. But we are neglecting the
primary tools of prevention such as forestation and respecting wildlife
habitats. It is therefore very much important for the world to realize the
significance of the forests, and to encourage afforestation as much as
possible throughout the world.

4.4. Controlling human population growth

Environment change is likely to have various impacts on human health.

Environment change has been positively related to human influences. A very
important factor is rapid human population growth, which has been
accompanied by enormous economic development and increasing sources of
pollution such as vehicles and polluting industries. In China, the
unstoppable increase in human population growth has lead to deforestation
and the people eat different types of bats, frogs, snakes, birds, and animals.
COVID-19 is reported as a bat related epidemic originated from China.
Revealing exceedingly vulnerable populations to new pathogens by
increased human relocation to previously isolated areas may bring together
infectious diseases. Control of population growth is therefore very essential
in this regard.

5.5. Global ban on wildlife trade

The starting point of COVID-19 outbreak was Hunan seafood market,
Wuhan, China. China has temporary put a ban on wildlife markets where
animals such as civet, bat, wolf pup, pangolin etc. are kept alive in small
cages while on sale. 60% of emerging transferable diseases originate from
animals, and 70% of these are supposed to originate in wild animals. So, the
unrestricted wildlife trade might enhance the risks of emerging new viruses.
Many scientists have urged different countries to permanently ban the
wildlife markets and trades. These actions would help to protect human lives
from future pandemics like COVID-19. Therefore, considering the national
security, biosafety, and public health, it is essential to globally ban wildlife
markets and trades.

b) by the Malaysian government

Malaysian citizens did not initially realize how deadly the virus is. On
January 25, 2020, Malaysia showed no intention of banning travellers from
China, although China had already quarantined the entire population of 11
million in Wuhan due to the deadly virus. Malaysians were also not well
prepared to fight the pandemic, mainly because of the political crisis that
was happening at the same time and also because they were assured that the
virus would not spread easily in Malaysia. However, with the number of
positive COVID-19 cases in Malaysia increasing in less than a week from 99
on March 8 to 200, with the first two deaths reported in mid-March,
Malaysians began to panic. Consequently, the government took many steps
to alleviate the mass panic and protect the health of Malaysian citizens.
According to the Director-General of the MoH Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham
Abdullah, one of the strategies was the placement of thermal scanners. This
was done to further enhance the detection of fever amongst tourists and/or

locals returning from abroad. Malaysians who returned from Wuhan were
screened, identified, and isolated in special quarantine areas for COVID-19.
The Ministry has provided awareness programmes on basic protective and
hygiene measures to minimize transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in simple
diagram form to reach the public easily. This includes hand-washing
techniques and the use of hand sanitizers and face masks. In addition,
various infographics associated with COVID-19 have frequently been
prepared and uploaded onto the website. The MoH has also conducted daily
press briefings, conference recordings, and has published relevant news on
COVID-19 to increase public engagement and ensure public awareness and
access to accurate information.

4. IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT MORE DO YOU

THINK THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND THE
SCHOOL NEED TO DO TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR
STUDENTS STUDYING IN SCHOOLS?

 Implement multiple SARS-CoV-2 mitigation strategies (e.g., social

distancing, cloth face coverings, hand hygiene, and use of cohorting).
 Communicate, educate, and reinforce appropriate hygiene and social
distancing practices in ways that are developmentally appropriate for
students, teachers, and staff.

 Integrate SARS-CoV-2 mitigation strategies into co-curricular and

extracurricular activities (e.g., limiting or cancelling participation in
activities where social distancing is not feasible).

 Maintain healthy environments (e.g., cleaning and disinfecting

frequently touched surfaces).

 Make decisions that take into account the level of community

transmission.
 Repurpose unused or underutilized school (or community) spaces to
increase classroom space and facilitate social distancing, including
outside spaces, where feasible.

 Develop a proactive plan for when a student or staff member tests

positive for COVID-19.

 Develop a plan with state and local health department to conduct case
tracing in the event of a positive case.
 Educate parents and caregivers on the importance of monitoring for
and responding to the symptoms of COVID-19 at home.

 Develop ongoing channels of communication with state and local

health departments to stay updated on COVID-19 transmission and
response in your local area.
5. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ON YOUR PART TO STOP
THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 IN SCHOOL AND OUT OF
SCHOOL?

 Handwashing remains the single most effective way to prevent the

spread of infection. Mandatory handwashing policies have
been linked to reduced illness-related absences. Make sure students
and all school staff are aware of the importance of washing hands.
Adults should practice and model good public-health hygiene on their
own: handwashing, cough-covering, staying home when sick or
symptomatic.
  Teach best practices like scrubbing for 20 seconds with soap and
warm water and making sure to clean the backs of hands, between
fingers, and under the fingernails. 

 Encourage handwashing before meals; upon entering the

building or classroom; after recess; after coughing, blowing your
nose, or sneezing; and after using the bathroom.

 Schools should build disease-prevention practices into daily schedules.

 Add 5 minutes to lunch and recess periods to ensure students

have time to wash their hands.

 Build in the practice of handwashing throughout the day,

during transition times.

 Provide hand sanitizer at school entrances.

 Set up hand-sanitizer stations in each classroom, so that each
time children return to the classroom, they get a squirt. Students
should be taught to spread the sanitizer evenly and entirely over
both hands and to allow their hands to air-dry. (Note that public
health guidance says that washing hands with soap and water is
most effective, but hand sanitizers with at least 60 percent alcohol
are a sound alternative when soap and water are unavailable.)

 Post handwashing reminders around the school that reinforce

proper handwashing techniques.

 Make it a classroom habit to regularly clean or wipe surfaces

that everyone touches often. Appoint students to a “clean
squad,”and make it as special as being appointed line leader or any
other classroom perk.

 Schools should ensure that all restrooms are always well stocked
with soap and paper towels. Sinks should all have hot and cold
 running water. Washrooms should be accessible — all students
should be able to reach the sink.

 Clean public washrooms frequently.

 Schools can mobilize PTO and parent volunteers to equip

schools and classrooms with cleaning supplies, as needed.

 Smooth out processes to accept parent donations of soap, hand

sanitizer, and cleaning supplies.

 Take advantage of classroom representatives, if they exist at your

school. These classroom-based parent volunteers can coordinate
preparedness at a hyper-local level. These preparations can be
fun and customized to each classroom.            

 Schools can empower middle- and high-school students to get

active — through “soap drives,” by supporting or thanking
 maintenance staff, by student-created hygiene-awareness social
media campaigns and posters, etc.

 Schools can tap into young people’s desire to take leadership

roles in causes they care about. Help them learn that
handwashing and other preventive public health measures will
help others and will make a difference.

 Schools can use this opportunity to create relevant learning

experiences. Encourage science teachers to create a mini-unit on
viruses, germ-fighting, or the science behind the spread of infections.
Have students become epidemiologists, sleuthing out clues and
finding patterns in how diseases spread.

 good idea to encourage handwashing, make sure restrooms are well-

stocked with soap, paper towels, and hot water, and educate students
about the importance of long-term health.
6.MY FEELING ABOUT MALAYSIANS WHO DO
NOT FOLLOW THE GOVERNMENT’S STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP):

My feelings for Malaysians who do not follow

the government's Standard Operating Procedure
(SOP) are that I feel angry and disappointed
when I see many who do not comply with the
SOP issued and this is feared to cause an
increase in the Covid-19 case.

Malaysians should understand how important it

is to break the COVID-19 outbreak infection
 chain when the second phase of the Movement
Control Order (PKP), which ends on April 14, is
extended for another two weeks until April 28.
The government has repeatedly reminded the
people in this country that they need to comply
with the PKP's instructions to curb the spread of
the epidemic that still does not have this vaccine
yet.

However, what is more disappointing to me and

sad is that there are still those who are still
stubborn, stubborn and seem to not care and
take note of the PKP's instructions that are
enforced.

With this, I emphasize that we must be together

do not be stubborn, sit at home, wash our hands
often and practice the prescribed social
imprisonment. We must all do it.
