Jamaliah added that 7,582 individuals were screened for COVID-19 across the state this year, with 353 requiring hospital admission.

“In Week 24, one patient—who was pregnant and also diagnosed with dengue—was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), but was transferred to a regular ward on 17 June,” she said. - June 24, 2025
