‘Indicators must be met before entering endemic phase’


MALAYSIA needs to record fewer than 1,200 cases of Covid-19 a day, and less than 10 deaths a day from the disease for seven consecutive days, before it can enter the endemic phase, said Deputy Health Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.

The endemic status also requires normal hospital bed usage to be capped at 30% for Covid-19, while the utilisation of Covid-19 ICU beds cannot be more than 10%.
