KUALA LUMPUR: There is no evidence that the Covid-19 Omicron variant is causing the paracetamol shortage in the market, says Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).

MMA president Dr Koh Kar Chai said it was true that while there was an abnormality in the paracetamol supply in the country, there was no shortage of drugs.

"Without actual statistics, it is not known if Omicron infection is the direct cause of it," he told New Straits Times.
