The beds and equipment are estimated to cost RM1.1 million.
The army will also be called in to set up a 50-bed field hospital on the grounds of HTAR to handle the problems there, said health minister Dr Adham Baba.
With the rise in case numbers in the Klang Valley, he said the government will also be providing additional beds and equipment such as oxygen cylinders to hospitals, including field and army hospitals there.
In a statement today, he said this will be done to increase preparedness of these hospitals and the Covid-19 integrated quarantine and treatment centre (PKRC) 2.0 at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) to treat the increasing number of Covid-19 patients.
Besides the Klang hospital, the ministry will also be providing 20 extra ICU beds to Ampang Hospital and 45 units of beds to the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Hospital.
Category 4 and 5 patients at MAEPS 2.0 will be transferred to these hospitals for treatment.
The government will also be expanding cooperation with the Tuanku Mizan Military Hospital in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur that will be treating Category 3 and 4 patients.
Adham said 110 health workers, comprising 75 medical officers, paramedics, and drivers from Kedah, Perak and Terengganu, would be mobilised to Klang Valley hospitals temporarily.
He said health workers from other areas who could handle the Covid-19 situation would also be placed there.
On a similar note, Adham added that volunteer workers, especially those from the Red Crescent Society (PBSM), will be caring for children with Covid-19 whose parents are also being treated at hospitals.
Meanwhile, 43 medical officers from the Klang Valley will be transferred to MAEPS for six months to help with the treatment of patients.
On top of that, 1,550 oxygen cylinders will be supplied to accommodate patients requiring oxygen at MAEPS.
The ministry will also procure 300 units of oxygen concentrators and will be getting oxygen supply from more than one supplier.
Adham said the 154 beds set aside for Category 4 patients at the 5,198-bed quarantine centre was no longer enough. In fact, MAEPS is also running out of beds for Category 1, 2 and 3 patients.
He said the latest data suggested that the centre receives 800 patients a day on average. Of this, an average of 400 would be Category 4 Covid-19 patients.
The health ministry, he said, will be reopening the 2,400-bed Sungai Buloh health ministry training institute (ILKKM) to treat Category 1 and 2 patients.
Putrajaya will also be working with the private sector and employers to set up more Covid-19 assessment centres and PKRCs.
