To understand the real situation of the pandemic in the country, Dr Noor Hisham said there are five indicators that need to be evaluated:

Infection rate (Ro / Rt)
Number of deaths
Number of infected health workers
The ability of hospitals to provide beds to treat patients
Ability of public and private laboratories to conduct screening tests

4. Kemampuan hospital menyediakan katil untuk merawat pesakit, dan
5. Kemampuan makmal awam dan swasta untuk menjalankan ujian saringan.
