PUTRAJAYA: Building more hospitals is not going to solve the Covid-19 problem if the public do not change their behaviour, said the Prime Minister’s Special Advisor on Public Health, Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood.
She said in dealing with the pandemic, it should start with the public practising Covid-19 preventive measures and influencing those around them.
“We’ve got to change our behaviour. We really have to help, think about the frontline workers who are struggling, overworked and depressed,“ she said today in a webinar session titled Business in the Era of Covid-19: Business Scenario Resetting with Covid-19.
