KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): "It wasn't easy to tell my mother that she tested positive for Covid-19," says pensioner Nin Zairani Mohd Ali, 61. Nin Zairani and her family did not expect their healthy and strong mother to be infected with the virus and succumb to it. The key questions are how long the issue of SOP violation will drag on, and why many people are letting their guard down despite the surge in Covid-19 cases. On Wednesday (May 19), Malaysia recorded its highest-ever number of daily Covid-19 cases at 6,075, with the death toll increasing to 2,040 after 46 deaths were reported over a 24-hour period. However, if people are still ignorant or stubborn and continue to violate SOPs, daily cases may continue to spike, burdening the frontliners who are still struggling to fight the pandemic.
