KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 28): There is enough capacity to treat Covid-19 patients at government hospitals, assured Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah today, who revealed that less than 50% of the beds in government hospital and quarantine centres for such patients, nationwide, are currently occupied.
Nevertheless, he said the ministry is considering letting people diagnosed with Covid-19 spend their quarantine at home instead, due to the delay in transferring individual patients to hospitals, following the increase of infections in the Klang Valley.
“But we will need to look into the size of the house and the ability of the officials to monitor the patients’ health progress, he added.
