Abstract

The epidemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) in China and a number of countries had led to the Covid-19 pandemic declaration by WHO. The aim of this study is to assess the evidence and to report the effectiveness of Covid-19 containment and mitigation measures among the affected countries. A comprehensive search strategy was performed using the MESH terms of “Novel coronavirus,” “Novel coronavirus 2019”, “2019 nCoV”, “Covid-19”, “Wuhan coronavirus”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “Containment”, “Mitigation” and “Control”. After completion of the initial screening, 922 articles were excluded for the following reasons: the article did not meet the inclusion criteria (N = 862), the article was a duplicate (N = 60). The remaining 72 articles were screened at the full-text level. After full review for relevancy, 41 articles were excluded and a total of 31 articles were selected for scoping review. The two most successful countries that managed to control this pandemic were Hong Kong and South Korea. While, the United States of America (USA) and Brazil are the countries yet unable to significantly reduce the Covid-19 cases. The aggressiveness of government efforts and the compliance among the population are the main factors contributing to the effectiveness of the containment and mitigation measures implemented.

Abstract

In 2016, the Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia has introduced a new programme to prevent and reduce the occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as well as related risk factors in the work place environment known as KOSPEN Plus. This study aims to evaluate the awareness and perception of KOSPEN Plus programme after 3 years of implementation in MOH health facilities, government and private agencies in Malaysia. A cross sectional study design was employed in the study. All health facilities, government and private agencies which had implemented KOSPEN Plus programme between 2016 and 31 December 2018 in all states in Malaysia were invited to participate in the study. The computer assisted self-interview (CASI) using the pre-tested self-administered questionnaire in the electronic form was used. A total of 362 health facilities, government and private agencies which had implemented KOSPEN Plus programme was involved in this study. Overall, more than 80% of facilities/agencies in this study implemented six out of the eight scopes of KOSPEN Plus. The survey was planned with the goal of obtaining data to support the Ministry of Health in reviewing the present health activities related to workers health in Malaysia and make necessary improvement to the programme.
