The facility is necessary as Covid-19 patients, especially severe cases, may have symptoms like fatigue, aching and lack of appetite after being discharged from the hospital, and need time for their pulmonary functions to recover.

KOTA BARU (Bernama): Thirteen of the 18 Chinese nationals working in the construction and mining sectors in Kelantan are free from Covid-19, says state Health director Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin.

As for the remaining five Chinese nationals, he said, they were still in quarantine following their return to Kelantan from the republic last month.
