PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has increased the bed capacity in six government facilities to treat Covid-19 patients in the Klang Valley due to the recent surge of cases.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said in the early stages of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ministry had only used Hospital Sungai Buloh and Hospital Kuala Lumpur as Covid-19 treatment hospitals, while the National Leprosy Control Centre (PKKN) was used as a quarantine and low-risk centre for patients in category one and two in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Putrajaya.
