The Sabah healthcare system is not collapsing, as the total hospital bed occupancy in the state is still sufficient to treat Covid-19 patients, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said that on Monday, adding that he did not understand why there was a negative perception of the situation in Sabah.

Dr Noor Hisham said what was more important right now was for "better coordination" in the state where the ministry works closely with the police, army, National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) and other government agencies.

The Health DG also estimated that it would take another four weeks before the virus would be able to be contained in Sabah.
