What’s the rationale behind three-day quarantine?


DAY in and day out, the government has been drumming it into our heads that we have to strictly comply with health protocols as outlined by the SOP to battle this Covid-19 pandemic. By and large, Malaysians from all walks of life do adhere to the SOP. No one in the right frame of mind would want to endanger themselves or their families by not following the protocols.

To quote Dr Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to US President Joe Biden, “our fight against Covid-19 must be based on science”. The standard requirement for anyone who has travelled is a 14-day quarantine, and I am very sure this has emerged from scientific research; it has also been adopted and used by most countries.
