KUALA LUMPUR: The trend of admission of Covid-19 cases to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is still at a high level with the total ICU bed occupancy rate surpassing 90 per cent, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
At the same time, he said the medical and health frontliners were suffering from 'burnout’ symptoms because they had been dealing with so many Covid-19 cases for an extended period of time.
“The MOH (Ministry of Health) would like to inform that the average number of new daily cases for seven days (June 30 to July 6, 2021) is 6,539 cases and it is still high compared to the 4,000-daily threshold target for the PPN (National Recovery Plan),” he said in a statement yesterday.
