509 GPs can issue quarantine orders to patients with Covid-19

The health ministry is working with private medical practitioners and employers to set up a Covid-19 assessment centre as well as quarantine centre.

“A total of 509 GPs have been given the authorisation letters to issue HSO bracelets for patients who tested positive to be treated at the PKRC or sent home and monitored,” he said, following a special press conference on the health ministry’s preparedness and strategy in managing the Covid-19 pandemic in the Klang Valley.

Adham said the ministry was working with private medical practitioners and employers to set up a Covid-19 Assessment Centre and PKRC. “The advantage of vaccines is that these individuals do not reach category five and, therefore, have reduced severity and mortality. Vaccines protect healthcare personnel from severe infection,” he said.

Why not 5000 of them
