January 23, 2021
KOTA BHARU – The Kelantan Health Department expects the capacity of existing health facilities in the state to last for only up to two months if the number of COVID-19 positive cases continues with the increasing trend, said its director, Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin.
Expressing his concern, he said, it could happen with the surge in COVID-19 positive cases of more than 100 cases in Kelantan every day lately.
