Enough beds for patients in Sabah

PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry believes it has enough hospital beds to treat the rising number of Covid-19 cases in Sabah as recovery rates are just as high.

He said there were 28 quarantine and low-risk treatment centres in Sabah with 7,368 beds and only 43% were currently in use. “So we have 16,060 beds nationwide and 40% of them are in use, ” Dr Noor Hisham said. He said medical teams would soon start shifting their focus to Sabah’s west coast as the number of cases in the east coast dropped.

“We also sent over 1,000 medical workers from Peninsular Malaysia and around Sabah to manage cases there and we have noticed a downward trend in cases, ” he said. “It is time that we give Act 342 a relook as it was enacted in 1988. Back then, we did not expect to have a pandemic of this scale. “We have developed SOP for elections and it was used during the Chini and Slim by-elections as well as the Sabah election.
