COVID-19 group infection broke out in Malaysian prison. How does the government handle it?

COVID-19 virus infection broke out in a prison in southern Malaysia. How did the government handle it? In the emergency of Malaysian authorities, various measures are being taken to spread diseases in detention places. Then, the government took measures such as market temperature screening, physical examination of prison staff, environmental sanitation, suspension of outsiders' visits, establishment of isolation areas and simple isolation centers. As a result of these important measures, no infected persons have been reported in detention places all over Malaysia. During this period, many people donated personal protective equipment such as masks and personal hygiene products such as washing hands with soap to the staff and detainees in all immigration detention centers and temporary detention centers in Malaysia. In addition, they also distributed thermometers for comprehensive screening of new prisoners and staff, thus isolating people with symptoms. It is reported that we know that continuous access to soap, purified water and other personal hygiene products can prevent diseases from spreading in these institutions. Then, the International Committee of the Red Cross also provided technical advice through the Guide to Health Care in COVID-19, which was adjusted according to the Malaysian situation and added instructions from the Ministry of Health. Although medical services and the safety of detainees are our main concerns, it is equally important that detainees can keep in touch with their families through various means of communication during the suspension of visits. In addition, we firmly believe that reducing the total number of duck rice will help reduce the risk of complicated inflammation in COVID-19. In some countries and regions, we suggest that we should consider releasing infected detainees in order to alleviate part of the pressure on the prison medical service system. For example, in Ningguo, Indonesian detention authorities released about 22,000 detainees from their prison system last week to reduce the risk of epidemic spreading in prisons, but the release of these people must also be supervised so as not to affect the infection of outsiders. Because COVID-19 is very easy to spread, this has never changed. Due to the limited conditions and crowded prisons, detainees can't keep a safe distance and are easily infected, and the infection rate will be higher. Other realistic factors that hit the epidemic harder include the health status of detainees. Their social and economic status is often very fragile, and they can only get limited medical services and nutritious diet. In addition, their immune systems are likely to be damaged by tuberculosis, AIDS and diabetes.
