IPOH: Efforts to contain Covid-19 is no longer possible, says Dr Lee Boon Chye
The former deputy health minister said the number of cases and contacts are enormous and is unlikely for the ministry to be able to track and isolate all.“We should focus on mitigation to reduce the number of cases and optimise the healthcare resources, ” said the Gopeng MP on his Facebook.“Mild cases and patients without symptoms should be kept in special areas with less intensive care.
“More staff needs to be trained to deal with Covid-19 and to ensure personal protective equipment to prevent infection are sufficient, ” he added. “All public transport, transport terminals and government offices should have disinfection regularly, ” he said, adding that overseas travel should be discouraged.
