Covid-19 outbreak at USM Hospital, operations disrupted, two units closed

Scores of healthcare staff at Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan have been sent into quarantine after several tested positive for Covid-19, according to sources within the hospital.

This has affected operations at the semi-government hospital with at least two units temporarily closed while several wards are now running below their usual capacity due to being understaffed.
