With the increasing number of COVID-19 cases and related deaths worldwide, we decided to share the development of this condition in Singapore and Malaysia. First few cases were diagnosed in the two countries at the end of January 2020, and the numbers have surged to thousands by end of March 2020. We will focus on strategies adopted by the government and also the Orthopaedic community of the two countries up till the beginning of April 2020. We hope that by sharing of relevant information and knowledge on how we are managing the COVID-19 condition, we can help other communities, and health care workers to more effectively overcome this pandemic.
随着全球新冠肺炎病例和相关死亡人数的不断增加，我们决定分享新加坡和马来西亚这一疾病的发展情况。2020年1月底，这两个国家确诊了首批病例，到2020年3月底，病例数已激增至数千例。我们将重点关注截至2020年4月初两国政府以及骨科界所采取的策略。我们希望，通过分享有关我们如何应对新冠肺炎疫情的相关信息和知识，能够帮助其他社区以及医护人员更有效地战胜这一疫情。
