Covid-19: Active cases drop below 100, three new infections
CORONAVIRUS | Total active cases for Covid-19 in the country has fallen below the 100-mark, with just 85 patients currently in treatment.
This is the lowest number of active cases since March 9, when there were 93 cases.
This comes after 62 patients were discharged today, bringing total recoveries to 8,437.
Three new infections have been reported, two of which are local transmissions. The total infections to date is at 8,643.
Both new local infections involved non-Malaysian citizens, one of whom was a lock-up detainee in Sabah.
The other local infection was from the Bukit Bintang cluster in Kuala Lumpur, after a repeat test at a quarantine centre.
The Bukit Bintang cluster has 11 cases in total, of which 10 are non-citizens. Some 304 people have been screened, with 293 testing negative.
Of the active cases, two are in intensive care and require ventilators to breathe.
There were no new fatalities, with the total death toll at 121.
Meanwhile, of the 5,804 people under home quarantine, 620 need to go for a second test after their 13-day quarantine period ends.
Testing figures for the past 24 hours have not been released as of writing.
We're not here to dispute everyday's outcome because the government is only testing a niche population. Or results come out positive when someone is tested. What I really like to know from the DG and the Government.... 1) What's really happening with this virus in our Country since we have very low positives more importantly less life threatening compared to the others in the World at the moment. Has the Virus mutated towards something less virulent that's why even if many being infected in Malaysia but don't show serious life threatening symptoms today? 2) Please don't give us an answer because of social distancing, we managed to curb the Virus because if you have went outside for the past few weeks, no one was exactly prectising it. So, that can't be the answer. 3) Has the Virus became less virulent because of our Hot Weather that's why it's not causing a very serious problem when someone is infected today. This is what our Ministry is supposed to come out and explain. This is maturity in holding a press conference. Not keep repeating daily statistics. (My due respect to the present DG for his work and commitment).
hmmm......too good to be T* .... ! Versus 188 cases in Singapore today #SiokSendiri?
