The oxygen demand for COVID-19 patients in Malaysia reached 48,139 cylinders (7m³) per day on Tuesday, June 8, 2021. According to PATH data, this was the highest in Southeast Asia.
The Philippines followed with a daily oxygen demand of 41,827 cylinders (7m³). Meanwhile, Indonesia's daily oxygen demand was 37,281 cylinders of the same size.
The high oxygen demand in Malaysia reflects the country's struggle with a third wave of the coronavirus. The virus has affected not only adults but also children after the lifting of movement restrictions.
Malaysian authorities recorded at least 27 children requiring intensive care unit (ICU) treatment between January and May 2021. This is an increase from only eight cases the previous year, as cited by Antara.
The surge in coronavirus cases in Malaysia serves as a lesson for Indonesians to consistently adhere to the 3M protocol: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. Furthermore, the public is urged to avoid crowds and reduce mobility.
