ABSTRACT
Covid-19 remains a worldwide pandemic. This is obviously due to new cases increasing and made worse by co-existing medical problems including death. The main issues in the management are movement control order and screening of the disease at an early stage in order to prevent transmission, complications and treat them early. The incidence of Covid-19 in Malaysia is on a relentless march superseding any previous projections made by WHO. From December 2009 till March 2020 the rate of infection in the number of patients with Covid-19 has stayed high. Every effort should be made to slow and flatten this transmission and what better way than to focus on Malaysians’ health. In the meantime society and the country as a whole has to bear the immense health and economic burden of the disease. The aim of the review was to describe the acceptance on Covid-19 in Malaysia. An extensive literature review of acceptance, knowledge, attitude, practice and decision making was performed to highlight the issues related with Covid-19. It is hoped that with the evidence, can facilitate us for better understanding.
