“This is something that we are not aware of and as far as private hospitals are concerned, we do not delay and report the cases as soon as we get the Covid-19 test results.

He was responding to Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah’s statement that the spike in Covid-19 numbers recently was due to a delay in reporting cases to the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre.
