Health DG: Challenge in admitting asymptomatic, mildly symptomatic Covid-19 patients to hospital in Sabah


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry faces problems admitting Covid-19 patients in Sabah who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms to hospital due to their lack of knowledge of the disease, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general explained that the Ministry faced challenges in contact tracing in Sabah as Sabahans lacked the understanding and awareness of the virus compared to those from Peninsular Malaysia.
