A
deadly virus known as the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) has attacked various countries
worldwide including Malaysia. The United
States of America recorded the highest
number of coronavirus cases and deaths. The virus which
originated in Wuhan, China has made people around the
world live in anxiety and fear.
Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin
Yassin started the first phase of the Movement Control
Order (MCO) last March. Almost two months went
by and now Malaysia is currently in the fourth phase
of its restriction movement order. Despite some good
news regarding the decreased number of affected cases,
things can get nasty again if Malaysians continue to take
the ‘staying at home’ order for granted and ignore the
government’s order to practice social distancing with
one another.
MCO is one of the initiatives made by the
government in an effort to break the chain of coronavirus.
We perceived it as something simple as all you need to
do is to just stay home, but the question is how many
of us had breached the Movement Control Order? The
answer is a lot.
A lot of the people who breached the Movement
Control Order often gave irrelevant and illogical excuses,
many of which are rooted in the people’s selfish needs
to go out and to socialize with their friends, ignoring
the sacrifices made by our frontliners for the sake of our
health and safety.
Instead of limiting our movement and practising
social distancing, responsible authorities such as
Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) and Royal Malaysia
Police (PDRM) had to use technologies to help monitor
and control as well as eliminating the outbreak of
this virus as it is well-known for its fast-spreading
transmission from one person to another.

This
Act as air sprayer and bacteria
disinfect
An air sprayer and bacteria disinfectant in the
form of a drone technology were used to help maintain
specific areas so that people will be less worried about
the state of cleanliness of that area. Although the
effectiveness of it is yet to be judged, the initiative in
killing the bacteria is much more important. However,
a study found that the coronavirus can live in the air as
well as on the surface of an object in a period of time.
The founder of XAG, Justin Gong, mentioned
that this drone has a lot of benefits for its quality and
consistency compared to hand sprays. Saying that the
air sprays from the drone are guaranteed to be far more
efficient as it will be dispersed directly and evenly to
the people.
Transportation for samples
The sample could be any medicine from
pharmacies, clinics, and hospitals. As we all know,
coronavirus does not recognize age and can spread
to anyone regardless of their age. However, elderly
people may be at a higher risk of getting this virus
especially those who are also suffering from chronic
diseases such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure,
Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease, and many
more. That being said, it is advisable for people to
limit themselves from having physical contacts with
anyone. China has confirmed that big companies
such as TerraDrones and Antwork, use drones as a
medium of transportation in supplying medicines to
the one who is in need. The sample is sent from the
Xinchang Hospital to the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention in Zheijiang which is only 3km away.
