PETALING JAYA: Building owners and employers should take the necessary actions to improve air circulation and ventilation to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and other diseases through dirty air conditioners, says Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

Lee said owners of buildings, offices and shopping malls must adhere to the advice of the authorities and consult their safety and health officers (SHOs) in taking appropriate measures to address the issue of poor indoor air quality.
