NSTnation 'We have a small window of opportunity now and we have to maximise that,” - Dr Noor Hisham

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this lower rate was indicative of the quality of services offered at Malaysia’s wards and intensive care units .

For patients who have either mild symptoms or were asymptomatic, they are also isolated for 14 days, treated and subject to repeated testing. Their results have to be consistently negative for a period of over 24 hours before they can be discharged. “In one week, we may see a spike in new cases as projected by many parties including the World Health Organisation.Dr Noor Hisham also explained that of the different clusters of infection in the country, 1,701 from the tabligh cluster have tested positive with 21,920 samples tested so far.
