Title: COVID-19 epidemic in Malaysia: Impact of lock-down on infection dynamics Document date: 2020_4_11
ID: 652vzlq6_13
Snippet: For Malaysia, JP Morgan forecasted a mid-April infection peak of 6,300 for Malaysia [16] . The lower peak could be due to Malaysia's 'test per million capita' of 482, which is four to 81 times higher than its neighboring ASEAN countries (6 to 109 tests per million population) and higher than several EU countries.

Document: For Malaysia, JP Morgan forecasted a mid-April infection peak of 6,300 for Malaysia [16] . The lower peak could be due to Malaysia's 'test per million capita' of 482, which is four to 81 times higher than its neighboring ASEAN countries (6 to 109 tests per million population) and higher than several EU countries. Malaysia has made efforts to control the infection curve with school closures, bans on social gatherings, both inbound/ outbound travel restrictions and enforced the Movement Control Order effective from 18th March 2020 It is important that the government take actions to control the peak to ensure that the health facilities can cope with the need for hospitalization. The proportion of infected cases that required hospitalization and ICU admission were 20.7%-31.4% and 4.9-11.5%, respectively [16] . Malaysia's current critical care beds are estimated at 1,060. The impact on economy can also be estimated, as has been done by Pearce [27].
