THE country’s youngest Covid-19 victim, a 23-year-old Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) student who died yesterday, could have been saved if she had sought treatment early, state Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Abdul Karim Hamzah said.

Karim said the final-year computer science and information technology student should have gone for the Covid-19 tests when both her parents were tested positive.

  • The problem is the authority did not trace down the closed associates to the confirmed COVID patients and quarantine them. Now patient died , m8Nister said she could have sought treatment earlier! What nonsense is this! The authority must track down all close contacts to the patient and quarantined them. Kerja MOH tak buatnak salahkan yang mati. Tak ada hati peruk.
