As of Tuesday, Kelantan had a Covid-19 infectivity rate of 1.14. The national infectivity rate is at 1.09, the highest since Feb 3.
It’s now apparent that trends have reversed from a recovery mode, with the infectivity rate staying above 1.0 for six consecutive days. A new Covid-19 wave may follow if not contained.
Kelantan broke ranks with Putrajaya to cancel Ramadan bazaars due to Covid-19 concerns but other states have proceeded.
