PETALING JAYA: The skies are starting to be shrouded in haze again, and this will raise the risk of respiratory problems as the country deals with Covid-19.
According to the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), people with Severe Acute Respiratory Illness or who display symptoms of Influenza-like illnesses should immediately be tested to rule out Covid-19.
An epidemiologist has also expressed concern that if the level of air pollution caused by the haze is bad enough to cause symptoms, it could complicate the Covid-19 situation.
