A runaway Covid-19 patient recently escaped from a hospital and went shopping with his fiance, despite being infected.
Assistant Medical Officer at Klinik Kesihatan Sungai Chua, Kajang, Faizul Azim shared his experience of discovering the patient on his Facebook account.
Initially, the 24-year-old runaway patient went home to his mother, who has diabetes, and lied by claiming that he was discharged by the hospital as he tested negative. However, when Faizul, the police and the health inspector arrived at the suspect’s house they were told that he was not at home.
Despite knowing that he tested positive for Covid-19, the patient still went out shopping with his fiance at Metro Kajang.
He was later arrested at the KFC in Metro Kajang by Faizul Azim himself along with the police and Health Inspector from Klinik Kesihatan Sungai Chua.
Due to his negligence, netizens were infuriated and some even expressed their disappointment in the comment section. There were a few who even hoped that he would be punished for harming people’s lives with his reckless act.
Earlier this month, a male Covid-19 patient ran away from Kedah Hospital after being warded for six days.
Let’s be responsible citizens and help each other out during this critical time. Everyone is sick of this pandemic but let’s not neglect the sacrifice of our frontliners and ease their burdens by complying with the SOPs.
