PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry (MOH) needs a period of two weeks to make the necessary preparation to contain the Covid-19 transmission in the country.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said among the preparations was to stock up on equipment and medicine as well as reviewing the layouts to further increase the wards and intensive care units (ICU) capacity for Covid-19 patients.
Therefore, he appealed to all Malaysians to assist the ministry by imposing self and family restriction for two weeks in order to break the infection chain and allow hospitals to have more room to treat the increasing number of patients.
