Recent reported cases in Malaysia serve as a reminder that tuberculosis (TB) is still present and spreads easily in enclosed environments. Facilities are encouraged to follow public health practices recommended by Ministry of Health Malaysia.
Tuberculosis is a bacterial lung infection that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks — especially in poorly ventilated areas.
If symptoms last more than 2–3 weeks, medical screening is important:
Continuous cough
Cough with phlegm or blood
Fever or night sweats
Unexplained weight loss
Tiredness or weakness
Close contact with TB patients
Healthcare or clinic staff
Elderly or low immunity individuals
People in crowded indoor environments
Air & respiratory care
Encourage mask use for coughing individuals
Improve ventilation or airflow
Separate symptomatic persons when possible
Daily hygiene practice
Clean frequently touched surfaces regularly
Perform hand hygiene after contact
Dispose contaminated materials properly
Early action
Get tested if cough exceeds 2–3 weeks
Follow full treatment if diagnosed
TB is preventable and treatable when detected early.
Good hygiene practices and awareness help protect staff, patients, and visitors in shared spaces.
