Celebrate but stay vigilant of Covid-19, Haze, say health experts


KUALA LUMPUR: The public should exercise extra caution when celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri as Covid-19, along with the ongoing haze phenomenon, still poses danger and risks to respiratory health, say experts.

Although this was the first time in three years Hari Raya was being celebrated without the imposition of standard operating procedures (SOP) by the government, there was no reason to throw caution to the wind.
