SHAH ALAM – The situation at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) Quarantine and Treatment Centre (PKRC) 2.0 has become more challenging following the admission of more Category Three Covid-19 patients, said the Selangor Health Department.
In a Facebook post today, it said that in early January, the centre had only 60 beds but now, the MAEPS Integrated PKRC caters to 757 Category Three patients and plans to increase its capacity to 1,000 beds.
The increase is to support the healthcare system in the Klang Valley following a spike in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.
“As such, Category Three patients are placed at halls near the intensive care unit (ICU) for closer observation while Categories One and Two patients who are stable are admitted to Dewan DG.
“However, the PKRC will try its best to separate foreigners from locals in this hall,” it said.
It said MAEPS PKRC has also taken note of complaints raised on Twitter regarding the slow admission process and will look into improving it from time to time. – Bernama, May 16, 2021
