Recovered Covid-19 patients risk getting re-infected if they defy ministry's advice


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Patients who fully recovered from Covid-19 and allowed to be discharged from hospitals can be infected by the virus again if they defy advice issued by the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said although the possibility of them being infected again is very low, they are advised to maintain cleanliness and self-hygiene to prevent getting the virus again.
