THE Covid-19 pandemic has challenged and, in many cases, exceeded the capacity of hospitals and medical resources worldwide. In Malaysia, the number of positive cases reached an all-time high of 17,405 on July 25.
The high numbers are attributed to the increasing number of people being tested voluntarily in private clinics, enhanced targeted testing by the government as well as widespread transmission of the virus within communities. Hospitals are struggling to cope effectively with the sudden influx of Covid-19 patients. Many adaptive strategies have been successfully deployed by the Health Ministry since the outbreak of the disease in the country.
