Actress Puteri Aishah had some reservations about returning to set when the ban on filming was lifted on June 10.

"When other actors have started returning to filming, I took my time because I wanted to make sure I was really ready and confident about the situation at the filming location," she told Harian Metro.

And when the 26-year-old finally went back to acting - starring in drama series Rahimah Tanpa Rahim last month - she didn't compromise on safety.

"When I first started filming again, I always brought my own face masks and sanitisers. I also decided to do my own make-up."

The Pulang star said she had to exercise great caution as she battled Covid-19 before and fears contracting it again.

Puteri tested positive for Covid-19 back in April after returning from filming a local drama, Demi, in Inverness, Scotland. She was discharged after 11 days at the hospital.

With the surge of cases in the last two weeks again, she implores the public to stay home as much as possible.

"Even for myself, I don't go out when there's no need. I stay home on my off days. Please follow the SOPs.

"And if you've been told to quarantine yourselves, please go through the quarantine period without breaking the rules."
