Catastrophe avoided because of lockdown, says Health DG

PETALING JAYA: The lockdown imposed has managed to avert a catastrophe, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general told Astro Awani that the country was facing the possibility of 13,000 Covid-19 cases per day in mid-June and the number could have skyrocketed to 40,000 a few weeks later.
