KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Health (MOH) has advised the people to practice "what is right and correct the wrongs" in complying with standard operating procedures (SOP) while at gatherings or in public places.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah urged the public to take heed of the advice following the spike in number of clusters formed from social gatherings that do not follow the SOP.
"This include big gatherings involving family members, celebrations and religious ceremonies. Individuals with symptoms were also at these gatherings," he said in a statement here, today.
Noor Hisham cited the Enggor Cluster in Perak and Indah Mas Cluster in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor as cases which started from a family get-together and continued to spread within the community.
He also pointed out that the Inai and Jambul Clusters in Sabah, were among clusters that originated from celebration events, while Mentari Cluster affecting Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Kuala Lumpur resulted from a religious ceremony involving family members and acquaintances who attended a funeral in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.
"It is indeed hard to practice physical distancing in crowded and confined areas, however, taking note from these clusters, the public should adhere to MOH advice.
"It is important for us to always be cautious and strive to protect ourselves, our family and people around us from COVID-19 infection," he said.
