KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 2 — A total of 595 individuals or 77.5 per cent of the deaths due to Covid-19 in Terengganu involve the unvaccinated against the viral infection.

Since interstate travel was allowed from October 22 and Terengganu having moved to Phase 4 of the National Recovery Plan, the State Health Department had expected an increase in Covid-19 cases following the influx of family members to their hometowns and tourism activities.

She added that 84.4 per cent of hospital admissions involved patients in categories 3, 4 and 5, contributing 72.5 per cent of bed usage at the intensive care units . And since last October too, 39.5 per cent of Covid-19 ICU admissions comprised the unvaccinated.
