When I was in Chennai airport, there were just few people wearing masks. In KLIA, nearly everyone wore masks last week. But we weren’t scanned or anything. Just filled up the declaration form and left.
When I went to hospital last weekend, the staff at the “kaunter saringan” said that need to have temperature of above 38 degrees as one of the criteria. Since both of us had no fever, we were deemed free from the virus. However, need to monitor for next 7 to 10 days, said the guy.
So what went wrong? Lack of apathy by the public? Lack of publicity? Slowness of the authorities? Procedural flaws? Is it a sign of problem in th public health mangement services? The death rate is fast approaching National Service number, so need to do something.
