Abstract
Background: Like other affected countries around the globe, Malaysia is shocked by the Coronavirus disease 2019, which is also known as COVID-19.
Aims: This commentary article discusses the COVID-19 scenario in Malaysia, particularly in relation to the sudden increase in the number of new cases related to an international mass gathering.
Findings: Projection through modelling helps the relevant authorities to act quickly and effectively, including enforcement of physical and social distancing. Modelling also assists in understanding the link between the biological processes that underpin transmission events and the population-level dynamics of the disease.
Conclusion: There is no one-size-fits-all approach in managing disease outbreak. The fight against COVID-19 very much depends on their attitude during the 14-day Movement Control Order (MCO) which has been extended recently.
