Covid-19: Melaka health authorities refer 12 patients to MAEPS due to overcrowding

MELAKA: Melaka health authorities have referred 12 Covid-19 patients to the Quarantine and Low-Risk Treatment Centre at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) following congestion at Melaka Hospital due to a high number of cases.

Melaka Health and Anti-Drug Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said this was a maiden move by the state after a contingency plan that was outlined earlier in the event of a spike in Covid-19 cases was activated on Saturday (Jan 9).
