Kg Bintang folk go about business as usual despite Health dept advice

BATU PAHAT: Life goes on as usual in Kampung Bintang, Peserai, here despite 64 villagers being placed under a week-long house observation after showing symptoms of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV).

Days after a 54-year-old man from the village died of the infection, self-employed Mustafa Ismail, 63, said most residents were still going around without their masks on “as if nothing had happened”.
