Fighting COVID-19 With Data

Every day, the Director-General of the Ministry of Health Malaysia stands behind a podium and presents us with numbers – numbers of COVID-19 infections, deaths, recoveries, clusters, and tests. All this data gives us information, which is key in our efforts to fight the pandemic. We speak to Dr Dhesi Baha Raja, Public Health Medicine Specialist and Co-Founder of Young Digital Leaders Malaysia, about using data to answer the big questions about COVID-19, with the most important one being: “When will COVID-19 end?”
