Pahang residents urged to follow SOP

KUANTAN: Pahang is expected to record an average of 90 to 100 positive Covid-19 cases a day in early June if locals do not comply with standard operating procedures (SOP).

State Health director Datuk Dr Bahari Awang Ngah warned that this would increase the number of active cases to 1,700, exceeding the capacity of hospital wards. He said as of last Sunday, there were 5,789 Covid-19 cases recorded in Pahang, which have consistently increased since mid-March.

“Patients in category four and five in the state have increased from 2% to 3.8%, while the number of patients admitted to intensive care units have almost tripled,” he said in a statement yesterday.
