AYER HITAM: It would be wise for people, especially those with respiratory problems, to mask up against the double whammy of haze and Covid-19, says Johor’s health committee chairman.
Ling Tian Soon said while there was no significant rise in hospitalisations in the past few days, the public should not let up on their precautionary measures.
“In Johor, only Segamat has recorded unhealthy Air Pollutant Index readings in the past few days, but we want to remain vigilant,” he said when asked to comment yesterday. On Sunday, Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa posted a TikTok video showing the hazy conditions in Sekijang, Segamat, where visibility was less than 200m.
“The wing, which includes an emergency and trauma department, should be able to meet patient demand as the medical staff have familiarised themselves with the new equipment and environment.With Singapore seeing an increase in daily Covid-19 infections from about 1,400 a month ago to about 4,000 cases a day last week, Ling also advised people to cut down on outdoor activities and wear a mask when they go to crowded places.
