PETALING JAYA: To lessen the burden on Covid-19 quarantine centres nationwide, two prominent public figures have appealed to Covid-19 patients to practise self-quarantine at home if they do not display any serious symptoms.

This call was made by veteran journalist Datuk Dr Hussamuddin Yaacub and moderation advocate Anas Zubedy, who both recently contracted Covid-19, as suggestions to mitigate the issue of the national healthcare system being strained to breaking point at the moment.
