During a recent press conference, Health Director General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham announced that the medical frontliners who are fatigue from the COVID-19 battle, will finally be given some time off to prevent them from burning out, although he has also warned of the need to be “prepared for the worst.”
As the number of daily infection cases continue to be in the low double digits since last week, the Ministry of Health have decided that the public health authorities deserve to be given some time off after tirelessly battling the virus for nearly five months since it first reached Malaysia.

“Health frontliners and stadd at the ministry of health have worked non-stop day and night for five months now, even on the weekends or workdays,” said Dr Noor Hisham.
“All the sacrifices made… now the cases have reduced. Now we see the use of ICU or COVID-19 wards reduced so maybe we can use this one week or two to give them some time off in turns,” he said.
“And we can also give them counseling so that they can steel themselves should there be spikes in cases,” he continued. “We have to be prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.”

We can’t thank all the frontliners enough for the sacrifices they’ve made throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
We hope that they’ll be able to rest as much as possible during their time off!
Please continue to do your part by staying home as much as possible so that we can stop the spread of COVID-19 and let our frontliners get all the rest they deserve.
