Greetings!

I understand your worry since your wife is suffering from cough, flu, difficulty breathing. These symptoms can be caused by other health problems such as:

  • Other bacterial or viral infection
  • tonsillitis
  • Asthma

As for now, it is crucial to assess your wife’s risk of COVID-19, to assess her risk, she is encouraged to answer the 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. She may proceed by following the instructions given at the end of the quiz.

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/.

Thank you for your enquiry.
