PETALING JAYA: Frontliners in Selangor are being pushed to their limits as they fight to curb the spread Covid-19 infections, even as the cases hit alarming numbers.
Yesterday alone, there were 965 cases, making up more than a third of the total number of cases in the country and frontliners are reportedly at “breaking point”.
One healthcare worker in Hospital Putrajaya, who did not wish to be named, said some of her colleagues were close to collapse with “patients coming in non stop” even after months of working during the pandemic.
“We are so tired and worried,” she told FMT. “Worried for ourselves and the families we go home to. To see people holidaying and flying around like nothing has happened makes us even more anxious.”
The biggest challenge in her work, she said, was dealing with misinformed or irresponsible patients.
