A healthcare worker at Queen Elizabeth Hospital says all Malaysians must take the SOPs seriously to combat the pandemic. FMTNews Covid19 Sabah

PETALING JAYA: With the number of Covid-19 cases rising at an alarming rate in Sabah, healthcare workers have been working their fingers to the bone to help treat the sick and contain its spread.

She tells FMT that in her opinion, the lockdown was implemented too late as many had already left Semporna to Kota Kinabalu and Peninsula Malaysia. “When the news broke that the ICU in Queen Elizabeth II Hospital was on lockdown, it was a big blow because Covid-19 patients are not the only ones who need ICU care.

She says that by the time her shift ends, not only is she exhausted but she finds herself drenched from head to toe in sweat. “I live with my siblings, my 60-year-old father and 54-year old mother so when I found out later that the patient was Covid-19 positive, I was so fearful.
