The contagious message claiming that the situation at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB) in Ipoh, is at an alarming level due to the increase in Covid-19 cases, is not true.
HRPB director Dr Abdul Malek Osman said the message was false, instead the current situation at the hospital was still under control, and even the service was running smoothly as usual.
"The community is reminded not to spread any unauthentic news or information, so as not to cause concern and confusion among the community," he said in a statement, last night.
He was commenting on an infectious message shared via the WhatsApp application which mentioned HRPB is now having problems with wards to accommodate Covid-19 positive patients level three to five, besides the wards for heart patients are also full.
Dr Abdul Malek also advised the public to always adhere to the standard operating procedures set, and reduce movement to public places during the Movement Control Order (PKP) is enforced from yesterday until June 7.
Apart from that, he said the use of face masks and disinfectant fluids should always be practiced whenever dealing in public places, to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
