KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Health (MOH) expects the country’s daily Covid-19 cases to stabilise and show a decline in the next one to two weeks’ time, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pix).
He said that the vaccination drive nationwide and public health controls such as the current movement control could flatten the curve of the pandemic again.
He said the spike in new cases over the last few days was due to more targeted screenings being implemented, especially in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, which are currently under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO).
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia continued its upward streak of Covid-19 infections, reaching the all-time-high figure of 9,353 cases.
The 87 fatalities recorded also added to the country’s death toll, which crossed the grim 6,000 mark.
Yesterday was the second day in a row that the country has seen the daily number of infections above 9,000, taking the number of cumulative cases to 827,191.
The previous high was 9,180 cases on Friday.
“The country’s total death tally also pushed past the 6,000-mark to 6,067, with the 87 fatalities recorded,” said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement yesterday.
Most of the fatalities were from Selangor (50), followed by Johor (eight) and Pahang (six).
