COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The first three cases of COVID-19 in Malaysia were imported cases, confirmed on January 25, 2020. Imported cases are defined as infection acquired from outside Malaysia with reference to the travel history of the individual case. The three cases were detected on tracing and screening after communication from the Singapore Ministry of Health that eight close contacts of a confirmed case of a Chinese nationality in Singapore had traveled into Johor, Malaysia. By February 15, the number of cases in Malaysia increased to 22, consisting of 12 persons under investigation (PUI), eight close contacts of confirmed cases, and two Malaysian evacuees of humanitarian aid mission from Wuhan, China. Most of the cases in the first wave were imported cases or of Chinese nationality 15 out of 22 cases and close contacts, while only two cases were of local transmission. After the 22nd case, no new case was reported for 11 days, which formed the first wave of COVID-19 outbreak in the country. All cases of the first wave recovered from the infection. The second wave of the outbreak started on February 27, and lasting until the present work was undertaken. From February 27, new cases began to appear as people who had international travel history to countries such as China, Japan, Italy, and Australia started to manifest symptoms. Clusters of cases began to form from the close contacts of confirmed cases who attended meetings and events together, which generated several generations of infections. The number of cases reached a total of 129 on March 10 from among the PUIs, close contacts, and evacuees of humanitarian aid missions.
We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently depending on our status as individuals and as members of society. While some try to adapt to working online, homeschooling their children and ordering food via Instacart, others have no choice but to be exposed to the virus while keeping society functioning. Our different social identities and the social groups we belong to determine our inclusion within society and, by extension, our vulnerability to epidemics.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, my lifestyle changed little. Normally, I would go out on my way with my best friend to share my stories and spend some time together. But now I can only connect via WhatsApp. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my lifestyle changed little. Normally, I would go out with my bestfriend to share my stories and spend time together. But now I can only connect via WhatsApp. At home, I'll watch dramas or movies to get rid of my boredom. I'm going to ask my brother to watch it together because he's bored like me. Besides, during this pandemic I became so often shopping at Shoppee and Watsons until I didn't notice my money was dwindling.
During this pandemic I often treat Instagram and other apps to know more about the world today. Many people go to hospital because of symptoms of COVID-19. Also many died as a result of this outbreak. Many families are grieving over the loss of a loved one. During this pandemic I’ll playing Instagram and other apps to know more about the world today.

I'm sad to see videos and pictures spreading about this COVID-19. Therefore, I will always take care of myself by wearing face masks, sanitizer and keeping a distance so as not to continuously increase the number of patients infected with this outbreak. Hopefully, Malaysia will be able to keep the epidemic at bay, at least until the arrival of the vaccine.
