KUALA LUMPUR: Dr Nisha Thayananthan is all too familiar with the ordeal that all frontliners are undergoing in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic – overcoming the fear of being infected and stressed out from working non-stop, at times up to 36 hours.

“It was tiring to be in the front line and wait for the next step in flattening the infection curve. I even had to undergo a 14-day self-quarantine after coming into close contact with someone infected. The thought that I was exposed and whether I would test positive was mental torture, ” she said.
