As for high-risk patients with history of chronic medial conditions, they will be placed at hospitals instead. While MoH didn’t explain why it chose MAEPS Serdang, its massive hall and proximity to Hospital Serdang could be the reason. At the same time, the ministry also didn’t reveal if it is setting up similar makeshift quarantine and treatment centre in other parts of Malaysia.
