Of concern is that it continued the trend of rising deaths among Covid-19 patients that appeared to correlate with the growing demand on the country’s intensive care unit capacity, which was close to 90 per cent yesterday. The most deadly month for Covid-19 in Malaysia so far was January, when the government imposed the second movement control order. That month, a total of 289 people died.
Cumulatively, Covid-19 has already killed 1,788 people since the disease was first detected in the country in February 2020.
