KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — The Ministry of Health said 8,334 Covid-19 patients recovered today, the highest number of recoveries since the beginning of the pandemic in the country.
This came on the back of another dip in the number of Covid-19 infections today at 5,793.
The record-breaking 8,334 recoveries bring the total number of patients who recovered from Covid-19 in Malaysia to 572,113 or 87.72 per cent.
Health Director General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, however, reported that 76 died and 914 — also another record high — are being treated in intensive care units (ICU).
“Of the 914, 459 need ventilators to help them breathe,” he said.
