“We know that 80 per cent are asymptomatic or they have mild symptoms. The other 20 per cent need more attention as they either belong in the moderate cases or the critical cases of around five to 10 per cent,” he told a press conference here today.

He also said although the World Health Organisation (WHO) had recommended for the ministry to only screen those with symptoms, Malaysia decided to also test those who had close contact with Covid-19 positive cases.

Dr Noor Hisham also revealed that all Covid-19 deaths that involved younger age group patients came to the hospital too late.

Younger age group are not immune from the virus, many of them are carriers of COVID-19 with little to no symptoms as is one of the main reasons as to how it gets spread fast and widely.
