Special unit set up to send emergency oxygen, modular ICUs to states with Covid-19 surges says Khairy


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry will be forming a rapid deployment unit to send urgent oxygen supplies and modular ICUs to any states facing a surge in Covid-19 cases in the future, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said this was to ensure if new variants emerge, the same situation that had happened in the past, where states facing a spike in cases did not have enough capacity to treat patients, would not recur.
