KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — “Today marks a dark moment when the country recorded its highest daily Covid-19 deaths since the pandemic began,” according to Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

In voicing his concern, he said the 98 Covid-19 fatalities saw the death toll shooting to 2,650 cases.

He said the development caused the mortuary facilities in the Ministry of Health (MoH) hospitals to reach maximum capacity and it is getting difficult to accommodate the bodies of victims.

“There were 472 deaths in 2020 while 2,179 deaths were recorded in just the first five months of 2021.
