Experts: Better policy will reduce number of BID cases


PETALING JAYA: With brought-in-dead (BID) Covid-19 cases accounting for some 30% of the daily death toll since early this month, health experts call for a better home monitoring policy with adequate support service to patients.

Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar said that more data on the BID cases should also be released and analysed for the policy to work and help find solutions to lower BID cases.
