During these trying times, the ones who are affected the most are not COVID-19 patients: it is the frontliners who are working tirelessly to help battle the deadly pandemic.
Their annual leave has been cancelled, their working schedule is basically 24/7, they don't get enough sleep, they face the highest risk of being exposed to the disease and are still doing their best to help those who have contracted the disease.
However, some Malaysians are making their jobs a little more difficult, and these poor frontliners are now pleading for your help.
Please stay home for us
Hashtags such as
#dudukrumah,
#stayhome and
#staysafestayhome have been trending all day on social media site Twitter.
Most of the tweets feature photos of medical professionals holding up a sign that reads: 'I stay at work for you. You stay at home for me'.
Not only that, even the police and firefighters are pleading to Malaysians to stay home:
Why it's important to #dudukrumah
Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah warned that if people don't take things seriously, a third wave of COVID-19 could be on it's way.
In a Facebook post, Dr Noor Hisham reminded the public to stay at home and practice social distancing.
"We have a slight chance of breaking the COVID-19 infection chain. Help MOH by playing your part as each individual is responsible for taking every step necessary to keep yourself and your family safe."
"Failure is not an option here. Otherwise, we might face the third wave of the virus," he warned.
He added that the wave could easily turn into a tsunami especially with the "I don't care" attitude shown by people.
"I appeal to all Malaysians, please take this movement control order seriously. Stay home and don't go out," he said.
