WITH three Covid-19 cases found at Penang Adventist Hospital (PAH), folk in Pulau Tikus, George Town, have started limiting their movement and cutting down on dine-ins while traders crank up precautions.

Local businesses in this busy suburb, where the hospital is, are suffering from a drastic drop in customers, but most interviewed did not mind the slow down because they understood the need for the public to stay home unless it is necessary to come out.
