He said besides the number of patients receiving treatment at healthcare facilities, other factors to be considered when implementing the system included the capacity and capabilities of the staff. “In addition, we can also ensure social distancing because there are too many patients and some clinics have several doctors in one treatment room,” he told reporters after the Shopee Malaysian Medical Association Covid-19 Fund cheque presentation ceremony here today.
“It is good so far. I am sure they are happy as it has reduced their workload compared to those days when they had to work until 10pm,” he added. Meanwhile, MMA Foundation president Datuk R. Doraisingam Pillai said RM699,830 has been raised online through the Shopee MMA Covid-19 Fund for healthcare workers battling the pandemic.
