Greetings!

Thank you for your question. I understand that you are worry about your daughter’s risk of being infected with COVID19. For your information, vCOVID-19 virus can survive up until 24 hours on an object or surface. If the parcel took more than 24 hours to reach Malaysia, it will not survive. Nevertheless, for safety reason please disinfect the object. Since she has developed slight fever and cough, I would encourage you to answer this quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate her health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, she will be classified into several categories. Further instructions will be given at the end of the quiz. Please act accordingly.

Besides COVID-19 infection, her symptoms can be caused by other health problems such as:

  • Other bacterial or viral infection
  • Tonsilits
  • Pneumonia

We also provide home testing services, accessible through this link: COVID-19 Screening At Home.

You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.
