Paul’s remarks, which emphasise the necessity to take the precautionary dose, follow an alarming rise of Covid-19 cases worldwide, particularly in China.
Dr. Paul advised individuals to continue wearing masks when in crowded areas. If you’re in a crowded area, whether inside or outside, wear a mask. For those who have comorbid conditions or are older, this is very crucial, he said.
