Its director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah told the ministry’s daily update that medical personnel who were infected by Covid-19 while on duty, have been due to dishonest patients who did not disclose their conditions or relations to the infected. “They attended weddings and other events. When they returned to the hospitals, they infected some of their colleagues. In total, there are 36 who were infected in hospitals, clinics or ICU,” he said.

“However, I would like to stress here that not a single frontliner serving the Covid-19 wards or ICU wards have been infected up till today,” said Dr Noor Hisham.
