Dr Adham Baba also acknowledges that more ICU beds for Covid-19 cases have been created at the expense of non-Covid patients, reducing the latter’s chances of getting critical care.
Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says MCO 2.0 failed to reduce daily Covid-19 cases to below 1,000 perhaps because the social, education and sports sectors were reopened too early in March.
The 506 confirmed, suspected, and probable Covid-19 cases requiring intensive care include 372 who tested positive, while the remaining 134 are cases under investigation or awaiting test results.
Dr Julie Eileena Abdul Razak, an intensivist-in-training from Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), notes that she might be the last person coronavirus patients see when they’re put on a ventilator.
