Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry came to the conclusion based on the chart which categorised Covid-19 patients according to their age groupings.
“However, when we compared this statistic to the population per age group, it is clear that the infection rate per 100,000 population is highest among people within the age groups of between 55 and 59 as well as 60 to 64,” Dr Noor Hisham said today at his daily press conference on the Covid-19 situation in the country.
He said more than 60 per cent of people died from Covid-19 in the country were those aged 60 and above. “If we take into consideration the comorbidity factor, statistics showed that 80.7 per cent of Covid-19 deaths involved those suffering from chronic illness such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney problem, heart and other diseases,” he said.
