PETALING JAYA: A total of 8,380 calls were recorded on the Covid-19 hotline since the early days of the movement control order (MCO), with many of them related to mental health issues, says Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
About 46.8% of these calls were linked to “emotional problems” such as stress, anxiety, and even anger, he said, adding that the anger was caused by social factors such as financial problems, no income and misunderstanding among family members.
