Refusal to allow Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms to stay home has helped - DG

CORONAVIRUS | The country has managed to control the local Covid-19 infection rate due to its policy in which all patients positive with the virus are isolated and given treatment by the government healthcare services, said Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health Ministry director-general said this makes the practice employed by Malaysia different from some countries, where only those who show strong symptoms get to be admitted into hospitals.
