SDMC adviser: Sarawak’s ICU bed occupancy falls but mild Covid-19 cases on the rise

KUCHING, July 25 — Sarawak Disaster Management Committee adviser Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian said bed occupancy in intensive care units for seriously ill Covid-19 patients in government hospitals has fallen to below 50 per cent.

He also said this has resulted in a decrease to less than 5 per cent each for category three, four and five Covid-19 infections. “The drop to below 50 per cent is most likely due to, among others, the effects of vaccines where 79.2 per cent of the eligible state population has received their first dose and 51.5 per cent, the second dose as of July 22,” Dr Sim said in a statement posted on his Facebook page last night.
