Epidemic is a Rapid Spread of infectious disease in a community at a particular time

Endemic is the “stable presence of a disease” within a set area. For COVID-19 Endemicity to happen, the virus continues to circulate, but infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths numbers stabilize and do not increase unexpectedly, exhausting the healthcare system.

World Health Organisation (WHO) warned against treating the virus as endemic now with the spike in infections driven by the Omicron variant and advised countries to consider Covid endemic based on the levels of immunity. As of 2 Feb 2022 just 12% had received at least one dose of vaccine in low-income nations. The acute phase of the pandemic cannot be ended unless we close this gap in vaccination rates.


Countries like Denmark, Mexico, Costa Rica, the UK, Norway, etc. have already opened their borders to international tourists/ travellers to enter without quarantine (wego.com). As part of the “Transitioning to Endemicity” phase, the government of Malaysia has decided to reopen the country’s borders from April 1. This is a temporary stage before the country moves to the Endemic Phase, a decision to be made by the WHO.


Travellers who have been fully vaccinated are no longer required to undergo quarantine. They are only required to perform a RT-PCR test two days prior to departure and an RTK antigen test within 24 hours upon arrival in Malaysia.


10 SOPs for Transitioning to Endemicity

  • Mask is still mandatory in public places
  • The owner of the premise must ensure a good ventilation system in the premises

endemik-1-april sop peralihan


Endemik bermaksud “kewujudan penyakit yang stabil” dalam sesuatu kawasan. Dalam fasa Endemik COVID-19, virus terus menular, tetapi kadar jangkitan, jumlah kemasukan ke hospital dan kematian menjadi stabil dan tidak meningkat secara tidak dijangka, melumpuhkan sistem kesihatan kita. 


Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) memberi amaran agar tidak menganggap virus itu sebagai endemik sekarang dengan peningkatan jangkitan varian Omicron dan menasihatkan negara-negara untuk mempertimbangkan endemik Covid berdasarkan tahap imuniti. Sehingga 2 Feb 2022 hanya 12% telah menerima sekurang-kurangnya satu dos vaksin di negara berpendapatan rendah. Fasa pandemik tidak boleh ditamatkan jika kita tidak mengurangkan jurang kadar vaksinasi ini.


Negara seperti Denmark, Mexico, Costa Rica, UK, Norway, dsb. telah membuka sempadan mereka kepada pelancong antarabangsa untuk masuk tanpa kuarantin (wego.com). Dalam fasa “Peralihan ke Endemisiti”, kerajaan Malaysia telah memutuskan untuk membuka semula sempadan negara mulai 1 April. Ini adalah peringkat sementara sebelum negara beralih ke Fasa Endemik, keputusan yang akan dibuat oleh WHO.


Pelancong yang telah diberi vaksin sepenuhnya tidak lagi perlu menjalani kuarantin. Mereka hanya perlu melakukan ujian RT-PCR dua hari sebelum berlepas dan ujian antigen RTK dalam tempoh 24 jam selepas tiba di Malaysia.
