MOH reports a slight uptick in polyclinic and emergency visits with no haze-linked intensive-care cases or deaths, while community hospitals and nursing homes say more residents have respiratory ailments as the haze overlaps with Influenza A. Caregivers should help older parents stay active and socially engaged indoors, seek care if fever or breathlessness worsens, and remember haze-related treatment remains subsidised at polyclinics and participating preparedness clinics.
