With MCO clock ticking, still no light at end of Covid-19 tunnel for Malaysia

Critically, he also disclosed that the number of category four and five Covid-19 patients — those with respiratory infections requiring ventilators and those critically ill with accompanying organ issues — were now five times what they had been at the height of last year’s second wave. Worryingly for the country, category four and five Covid-19 patients are those most likely to never recover.

Although authorities have now expanded the MCO to cover the entire country except for Sarawak, not all are convinced the current iteration of the move would bring about the results needed to give Malaysia’s healthcare time to recover. Time was also running out for the MCO, which Dr Noor Hisham previously assured the country would not go beyond a maximum of four weeks even if the first extension now appeared inevitable.
