KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The results of the Ivermectin Treatment Effectiveness test on high-risk Covid-19 patients (I-Tech Study) are expected to be presented to Health Ministry stakeholders by the end of this week, the Dewan Negara was told on Tuesday (Oct 26).
AS at July 19, 7,148 Covid-19 patients in Malaysia have succumbed to the virus while the number of infections does not seem to be coming down to pre-Emergency levels.
Although more than 95% of the cases comprise those who are asymptomatic or show mild symptoms, the mounting number of daily deaths is scary.
A total of 153 deaths – the highest in a single day since the start of the pandemic – was recorded on July 18. Over the past 10 days, the fatalities have been between 102 and 129 people.
With patients fighting pneumonia, needing oxygen support or in critical condition with ventilators stretching the limits of frontline medical staff and operating capacities of hospital wards and intensive care units, the figures are set to remain high.
