PETALING JAYA: Infectious diseases expert Prof Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman’s criticism of a nationwide sanitation exercise has received support from top scientists.

The Academy of Medicine of Malaysia (AMM) said the government must prioritise Covid-19 interventions that will help reduce the number of cases as well as to protect hospitals and intensive care facilities during the two-week lockdown to allow "our healthcare professionals a breather and respite".
