Due to the update statistic from Ministry of Health, the precautions have been made to extent the Malaysia's movement control order (MCO) until 28 April 2020 for this while for the phase 3. This is due to new cluster that have been known and still under the progress of case examination whether they are positive or negative. The MCO does not mean that we cannot go out at all (quarantine), we still can go out for important things such as buying groceries and getting the health treatment at the hospital. There are also the practicable of social distance for all affair and business.

Preparations have also been made by the ministry in dealing with the outbreak by preparing the MAEPS Low-Risk Patient Quarantine & Treatment Centre. Malaysia are committed to ensure this outbreak is being control and to prevent the vigorous outbreak from being spread. However, this involved the cooperation from various parties including ourselves to fight this epidemic.

As a Malaysian people, I do feel proud of Malaysia's achievements in dealing with this outbreak. We must provide support to reduce the outbreaks of the disease by keeping ourselves and environment clean and just stay at home. The request is not hard and our patience must also be a yardstick for us to improve ourselves in the direction of the Ramadhan month that will be coming soon.

As a students, the struggle for knowledge must also continue. In this third phase, many people start to get overwhelmed with things including unpaid leave, pay cuts, lost directions to finding a source of income and many more. This is due to many industries have to be temporarily halted in addressing the epidemic. Only essential industry have been allowed to operate to ensure the continuity of the needs such as food and medicine with the Standard of Procedure that need to be followed. Everyone felt the effects of the outbreak including the decline in the national economy. As responsible and concerned citizens, let us continue to fight the epidemic with the Ministry of Health. We might have the new norm of life after this.
