PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has yet to reach the peak number of daily Covid-19 cases, said vaccination minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

“I think we are getting to the peak, as far as the Klang Valley is concerned we are getting to the peak in maybe another week or so,” he said during a press conference today.

“And, then hopefully then there is the inflection point.”

There has been a steady rise in cases since late June, when the number of daily infections was below 6,000 a day.

The country has recorded around 17,000 daily cases for most of the past week, with a record high of 17,786 cases set on July 31.
