KUALA LUMPUR: Parents need to take proactive action to protect their children from Covid-19 infections following an increase in cases especially involving infants under one and children under five years old.
Director-General of Health Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said parents with babies and children under five years old should carry out their responsibilities by staying at home and not bringing their children to risky places.
He said those places included supermarkets, public markets and other crowded places and parents were advised to make online purchases for their daily necessities.
