    Document: Relying on stringent social distancing method alone, like MCO, will not be adequate in controlling the outbreak. Basic measures in infectious disease control must be strengthened as these measures play the most important role in this epidemic. Infected person, either asymptomatic or symptomatic must be identified as soon as possible so that the person can be isolated from other susceptible persons. Extensive and rapid contact tracing is needed to identify all exposed person and put under quarantine to stop them from infecting other susceptible persons. Proper surveillance method is needed to ensure compliance. If all these measures are not strengthened, MCO alone will not be sufficient even though it is executed in full force. Nevertheless, MCO is important to reduce massive contacts between peoples so that the healthcare system gained enough time to prepare. It is when all the basic control measures for COVID-19 is strongly grounded and functioning, reflected by down-turn epidemic curve, that's the moment we can safely lift up the MCO without the fear of recurring big waves of COVID-19 epidemic.
