KUALA LUMPUR: Pengusaha perniagaan dan pemilik premis digesa menggunakan alat pengukur suhu badan yang disahkan dan mendapat kelulusan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM).
Menteri Kanan (Keselamatan), Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, berkata mereka tidak boleh mendapatkan bekalan itu secara sebarangan bagi mengelak alat itu tidak boleh berfungsi sebaiknya.
"Kalau mereka sudah beli, mereka perlu perhatikan dari segi ketepatan bacaan suhu. Kalau ada masalah mereka perlu hantar baiki semula," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media harian yang disiarkan secara langsung selepas mesyuarat khas Menteri Mengenai Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Pemulihan (PKPP) di Putrajaya, hari ini.
Katanya, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) tidak mempunyai keupayaan untuk melakukan semakan terhadap ketepatan bacaan alat berkenaan.
"Cuma pengusaha perniagaan itu sendiri mesti mengambil inisiatif memastikan ketepatan pengimbas suhu.
"Kalau pelanggan tak puas hati dan tak percaya (bacaan suhu badan yang diambil), boleh buat aduan kepada pasukan task force (PDRM) yang mungkin akan bawa hal ini kepada KKM," katanya.

KUALA TERENGGANU: Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDNHEP) mengingatkan orang ramai supaya memeriksa dan mendapatkan pengesahan pihak berkenaan sebelum membeli produk berkaitan kesihatan yang dijual terlalu murah.
Timbalan Menterinya, Datuk Rosol Wahid, berkata antaranya ialah alat pengimbas suhu digital yang dikatakan ada dijual jauh lebih murah berbanding harga pasaran, sekali gus didakwa sekadar memenuhi syarat ditetapkan Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP).
Mengakui pihaknya menyedari kes sedemikian, beliau menegaskan, kes itu kini dalam perhatian KPDNHEP untuk tindakan susulan.
"Buat masa sekarang kita hanya boleh menasihati peniaga dan pengguna supaya membelinya daripada kedai yang sah dan diakui membekal alat berkenaan.
"Jangan beli daripada penjual tidak sah dan pastikan alat pengimbas mempunyai pengesahan Sirim Berhad (Sirim) bagi memastikan ia berfungsi dengan baik," katanya selepas program pematuhan dalam Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Pemulihan (PKPP) di sini, hari ini.
Rosol berkata, KPDNHEP tidak mempunyai peraturan khusus berkaitan alat pengimbas suhu digital produk murahan itu.
Katanya, orang ramai yang mempunyai maklumat mengenai kedai atau pembekal menjual alat tidak berkualiti itu boleh melaporkannya kepada KPDNHEP untuk tindakan.

The water that Malaysians consume originates from surface water sources that have been treated in treatment plants under stringent control and complies with the minimum quality standards set by the Health Ministry as per the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The physical, chemical and microbiological components of water are checked regularly. Hence, according to the National Water Services Commission, the country's water supply is not only clean and safe to consume directly but is also free of E. coli bacteria. But what about the presence of the Covid-19 virus?
WHO has stated that the virus that causes Covid-19 has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the coronavirus that causes Covid-19.
Besides, the risk to water supplies is low as substances added during the treatment process such as chlorine kill the pathogens before they reach the tap.
Although the risk of Covid-19 is low in drinking water and is relatively safe to consume without the need for additional water filtration, there is suspicion on how low is the low.
Different water filters have different functions. Some can make the water taste better, while others filter harmful chemicals or germs. No single filter can keep every type of contaminant out of the drinking water, and as the filter ranges in price, one must be certain of which contaminants to be removed.

KUALA LUMPUR: With face masks now widely sold in the country, questions remain on whether they meet the necessary standards to provide protection from Covid-19.
Association of Malaysian Medical Industries secretary-general Datuk Haminnuddin Abd Hamid said if someone chose to wear a face mask, the standard three-ply medical-
grade variety was recommended as it had a bacterial filtration efficiency rate of 95%.
“Non-medical grade face masks trap dust particles only and offer no real protection against viruses, ” he said, adding that face masks used in healthcare facilities such as hospitals must be registered with the Medical Device Authority (MDA) Malaysia, a body under the Health Ministry.
He added, however, that no one was checking the quality of masks sold publicly for use in non-medical settings.
This means poor quality masks that either do not have filters or come with ineffective filters – both of which allow viruses to pass through the mask – may end up being sold to the public.
“The challenge is that even if the public wants good quality three-ply face masks, there will still not be enough, ” Haminnuddin said, adding that two-ply masks did not have filters.

PETALING JAYA: Unregistered daycare centres should make themselves legal by registering before operating, urged Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said that illegal daycare centres could not be monitored during the conditional movement control order (MCO) as they had no records with the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.
"We have given permission for registered taska operators to start reopening and these are centres monitored by the ministry, and their operators are all trained.
"There are also unregistered or illegal taska and we are worried over these type of premises because the operators have no training of any sort and if something bad were to happen, it is out of our knowledge.
"I'm appealing to these operators to register with the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry so that they can get training and any aid allocated for registered centres," he said during his daily briefings on Thursday (June 4).
He said that the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the government in allowing registered daycare centres to operate were strict to ensure full compliance and maximum safety of everyone involved.
