- 3 years ago
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia may see more than 8,000 new COVID-19 cases a day by June if members of the public fail to adhere to safe management regulations.
According to the health ministry’s latest data modelling, COVID-19 cases will increase sharply if people do not comply with the standard operating procedures set out in the national movement control order.
Just a week ago, the health ministry’s previous data projection forecasted about 5,000 new infections a day by June if standard operating procedures are not followed.
Malaysia is currently undergoing its third national lockdown as it battles a third wave of COVID-19 infections.
Malaysia reported 4,113 new COVID-19 cases on Friday (May 14), taking the national tally to 462,190. Only one case was imported, while the remaining cases are local infections.
A total of 1,269 cases were recorded in Selangor with 306 in Kuala Lumpur. Johor reported 335 cases while Sarawak had 533 infections.
