Former Covid-19 patient Navamalar Naggappan, 39, understands the frustrations that those hospitalised or home-quarantined for Covid-19 go through because she went through it all before. In October last year, Navamalar tested positive for Covid-19 and had to be hospitalised.

“It all started when my whole family – my mum, my elder sister, my son and I – were admitted to the Sungai Buloh Hospital for Covid-19 in October last year. My mum, who had stage three symptoms (with pneumonia), was unable to eat. She craved idli and curry fish, and refused to eat anything else.
