PETALING JAYA: In April 2020, Dr Samsu Ambia Ismail’s family of seven were quarantined together in a hospital ward for Covid-19.

He still recalled the fear and panic of having caught the virus at a time when the vaccine was unavailable and not much was known about the disease, although it has been almost three years since he, his wife Mazriemi Mohd Zaki, 43, and their five children aged between 11 and 21 recovered from their first Covid-19 infection.
