THE Penang government is aware that many people who caught Covid-19 do not want to go to low-risk quarantine and treatment centres as they are worried about the condition at these centres.

As such, the state will help Health Ministry in any way possible to improve conditions there, said state welfare committee chairman Phee Boon Poh.
