Covid-19: Rise in cases, but level of severity remains manageable, says KJ


PUTRAJAYA: Despite the increase in Covid-19 infections and hospitalisations two weeks after the country announced relaxation of curbs, the Health Ministry says the level of severity still remains at a manageable level.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said an increase in Covid-19 infections is expected following the country’s reopening, but as long as the number of serious cases stays low, the situation is still under control.
