Scary scenes!

There’s a simple reason why we’re supposed to obey the COVID SOPs set by the government; to ensure we are safe from the virus and most importantly, to ensure OTHERS are also safe.

This TikTok shared by user @camilianera shows what happens when certain individuals do not follow SOPs. Located in an apartment building in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, the video shows the residents who are COVID positive,  grouping together in an open space outside their units (socially distanced of course) with their belongings and leaving the area.

The video is captioned: Sometimes others letting their guard down gives impact to their surroundings. Let’s obey the SOPs ya guys. Pity others. No hate.

In the video, the caption explains the risks of staying in a high-density apartment where despite many obey the SOPs, many also do not comply. Hence, the impact isn’t just towards those who fail to obey, but also towards those who comply and are innocent.

The video ends with the visual of the positive tested residents leaving the apartment area and the creator writing a caption hoping for them to be strong during the recovery process.

One viewer questions the creator, asking what the cause of the cluster is, where she responded with the surau, Hari Raya celebrations, and the convenience shop.

This viewer stated how it’s difficult to comply with SOPs sometimes: It’s difficult to comply with SOPs in flats that have lifts. Especially during the rush hour, it’s rarely ever not empty.

This viewer said: Not using sanitizer after touching the lift buttons can be a cause of the virus spreading.

May this video of the cluster be a reminder for everyone to continue complying with the SOPs. It’s a mass effort and together we can stop the spread of the virus. Remember, our battle is far from over.
