（吉隆坡14日讯）民兴党主席拿督斯里沙菲益阿达敦促卫生部重新探讨冠病患者自家隔离的政策，以减低送院前死亡（BID）的案例。 他指出，送院前死亡人数的增加令人感到担忧，患者在自家隔离期间甚至缺乏受到应有的关照。因此他希望政府检讨有关政策，避免让该问题成为我国迈入下一阶段的绊脚石。 “9 月 11 日，我国共有23万9351 例活跃病例，其中 83.3巴仙的患者在家中进行自我隔离。” “同一天，共有 592 人死亡，这是自爆发以来的最高纪录，这个数字包括 88 宗BID 案例。” “数据表明，疫情管理没有得到政府的充分执行，人们在家中进行自我隔离增加了他们的负担。” 沙菲益也是仙本那国会议员，是今日发文告发表有关言论。 与此同时，他也促请政府提供更多援助和资金以加强公共卫生系统，使医院能够最大限度地发挥作用，并非让患者继续在家隔离。 另外，他也希望政府以更明确与透明化的方式公布每日冠病数据和信息，以避免混淆人民。 “我对卫生部的积压数据感到失望。因为这些数据无法反映实际的死亡病例。公众也因此无法了解我国冠病的真是情况。” “ 目前卫生部已没有在社交媒体上上载每日冠病数据，有关资料只能在CovidNow 与 Github获得。可是Github网站需要注册以获得资料，因此无法获得资料的网民将会被误导。” 沙菲益希望政府正视有关问题，因为这将可让人民了解冠病的真实情况，也借机提醒人们保持警惕，遵守所有标准操作程序。
