Netizens were amazed by how our abang-abang Bomba in Penang stayed up till 1am to disinfect their streets!
Well, according to FMT, Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa has announced yesterday (26th March) that they will be carrying out a massive disinfection exercise this Saturday (28th March) in KL.
This exercise will be carried out mainly in Covid-19 red zones and it will start in Seputeh, Kuala Lumpur, which is near to Masjid Jamek Seri Petaling — the epicentre of the second wave of Covid-19 infections. According to BFM, they will be focusing on Lembah Pantai and Titiwangsa as well.
The minister added that these exercises will be carried out by the police, fire department and the army.
“This (disinfection exercise) requires some expertise. We need to use the correct materials that are effective and we also need to implement many methods.”
Other than that, the minister says that they have been taking the ‘defensive’ approach with Covid-19 by carrying out Movement Control Order, treating patients and urging the public to practice social distance and keep good hygiene.
So now, they will move on to the offensive method by ‘attacking’ the virus.
“The attack will be carried out in the form of disinfecting public places, halls, mosques, surau, roads and alleys.”
This is certainly a very good exercise and we hope that it will be carried out nation-wide soon! As we wait for this exercise to hit our states, lets’ all continue to abide by the Movement Control Order and practice social distancing.
