[Day 37 of the MCO] Even if the government lifts the administration order, Dr Kong: The epidemic is not over.
随着行动管制令第3阶段或在下周结束,惟医生提醒行管令结束不意味新冠肺炎疫情结束,民众仍须保持自我防疫意识。
马来西亚中医总会秘书长郭伟康医生指出,由于目前全球都在面对新冠肺炎疫情,我国周边国家的新冠肺炎确诊病例也在不断攀升,因此即便政府解除行管令,也不代表我国的新冠肺炎疫情结束。
“我当然希望政府逐渐的开放。但是,作为一名医生,我希望民众能够自我保护,防疫意识一定要有。”
郭伟康除了是一名中医师,也身兼西医。他在接受《光华日报》电访时就预估,新冠肺炎疫情可能会持续至明年,因此民众有必要保持自我防疫意识。
“很多人误解,新冠肺炎疫情在进入夏天后会缓解,病毒的繁殖可能没这么快。但是,你看马来西亚、新加坡等四季如夏的国家,也面对疫情的冲击。”
他说,其实最早面对新冠肺炎疫情的中国,尽管如今已解除封锁措施,但当地民众的防疫意识非常高。
“虽然中国可以说是完全解封了,但是民众的防疫意识非常的高。虽然中国政府没有强制要求人民戴口罩,但他们自己都会戴起口罩,且保持社交安全距离。”
询及行管令有没有再延长的必要性,郭伟康则表示,这须视卫生部的数据和资料。
针对新冠肺炎疫苗,他则表示,尽管目前全球多个国家都在研发新冠肺炎疫苗,但由于每个国家的新冠肺炎病毒毒株不同,因此疫苗也会有所不同。
“目前来看,中国研发的疫苗进度比较快,已经进入第2期。但还要经过第3期的人体临床实验。”
“因此,若要推出到市场,最快也需要约1年的时间。”
