Kota Kinabalu: Medical frontliners have been doing the best they can to contain the spread of Covid-19, especially with the worrying rise in cases particularly in Sabah. 

They have to wear the personal protective equipment (PPE) for more than nine to 10 hours, they don’t eat or drink just to ensure the best for the patients, shared one frontliner by the name Atfinah who works in Semporna.
