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.
