KUCHING, Dec 19: Individuals who test positive for Covid-19 are required to undergo isolation or a Home Surveillance Order (HSO) for five days from the onset of symptoms.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) advises cases released after the fifth day to adopt preventive measures, including wearing a face mask when outside and avoiding crowded places or visits to high-risk groups until the 10th day.
In an infographic on Covid-19 positive case management posted on social media, close contacts are encouraged to self-quarantine if experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, and flu.
They should also conduct self-tests using RTK Ag and follow health preventive measures to minimize the risk of spreading the infection.
Positive and suspected cases are advised to travel only for essential matters.
