Covid-19: Health Ministry to review guidelines after users complain hotline is down


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has been tasked to relook at guidelines on what to do when someone tests positive for Covid-19 at home, after social media users complained that the Covid-19 Assessment Centre (CAC) hotline set up during the pandemic is no longer working.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said while he had instructed his team to check on the status of the hotline, those with severe symptoms should visit the nearest government health clinic or hospital.
