Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic had caused Malaysia to introduce a lockdown approach for the first time that was due to an outbreak of infectious disease. This was bound to create certain problems as it disrupts Malaysians' daily routine and way of life.
Materials And Methods:
A cross-sectional study to identify the problems faced by Malaysian Social Media Users during the Movement Control Order (MCO) and Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) was conducted. An online survey that assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice of COVID-19 was shared via social media.
Results:
The response of the attitude module from the participants during MCO (n=2073) and CMCO (n=2720) were analysed. Chi-squared and Fisher's Exact Test showed that the male, unmarried, young (<40 years old), and employed participants were the most affected (p<0.05) when responding to a list of major problems faced during MCO/CMCO - 'Emotional difficulty being confined', 'Did not get paid due to missing work', 'Unable to communicate with family members who were not there', 'Unable to get food or water', 'Unable to get regular medical care or prescriptions', and 'There were no problems for me during MCO/CMCO'.
Conclusion:
The problems that were faced by these groups need to be addressed for better public health interventions and policies to win against the war on the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic.
