PETALING JAYA: Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah today fought back a claim by a private doctor accusing authorities of failing to protect medical frontliners attending to Covid-19 patients in public hospitals nationwide, saying an overwhelming majority of infected health workers did not get infected in the line of duty.

He also said the death of two healthcare workers had nothing to do with being exposed to Covid-19 patients. Musa also urged Noor Hisham and his team – whom he said were at their “ivory towers in Putrajaya” – to go to the ground and visit the affected hospitals.
