Do Covid-19 self-test before and after holiday, recommends expert

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 28 — As excitement mounts with the public exodus to hometowns or go on vacation in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations, people should not forget the importance of health protocols while the country is still facing the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Currently, although Covid-19 cases are increasing, most of them are in categories one and two. What is more important is that before returning home or going on holiday, ensure you complete the vaccination including booster dose, wear a face mask and practise physical distancing. Sharing the same view, public health expert from Universiti Putra Malaysia Assoc Prof Dr Malina Osman said celebrants who will be receiving guests should also do a self-test.

She said the public still needed to be vigilant and early preventive measures were better to avoid an explosion of new Covid-19 cases.
