PETALING JAYA: Separated by state lines and travel restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, video calls are the only way Malaysians can see their loved ones face-to-face this Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

It is how Mohd Hafizzudin Masuut, 32, will be communicating this Raya with his youngest brother and their mother, who are both at the quarantine centre at Sarawak General Hospital after testing positive for Covid-19 in late April.
