Covid-19 deaths (Oct 23): 78 reported fatalities, total at 28,312

 


COVID-19 | The Health Ministry's Github data repository reported a total of 78 Covid-19 fatalities yesterday (Oct 22), bringing the cumulative death toll to 28,312.

Malaysia is the worst-performing country in Asia in the number of Covid-19 deaths per capita.

From the newly reported deaths yesterday, 21.8 percent or 17 died before they could receive treatment at a hospital. There were 40 deaths among fully vaccinated people.

Sarawak recorded the highest number of new deaths at 17, making up 21.8 percent of the newly reported fatalities.

The remaining deaths were in Perak (11), Selangor (11), Penang (10), Johor (9), Sabah (7), Kedah (6), Negeri Sembilan (3), Kelantan (2), Perlis (1) and Terengganu (1).

No new deaths were reported in Malacca, Pahang, Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya.

Perlis, Sarawak and Penang had the most deaths per million people over the past two weeks, according to the CovidNow website.

A total of 68 out of the 78 reported deaths or 87.2 percent happened in the last seven days.

The remaining deaths happened more than a week ago but were only recorded yesterday due to delays in data reporting.

An average of 125 Covid-19 deaths were reported daily in the last 30 days compared to the seven-day average of 77, indicating a downtrend.

To date, 2,104 Covid-19 deaths have been reported this month.

A total of 9,680 Covid-19 deaths were reported in September, 7,642 in August, 3,858 in July and 2,380 in June.

As of yesterday, there were 80,697 active Covid-19 cases. This is a reduction of 18.3 percent from the 98,773 active infections a week ago.

Compared to 30 days ago, the number of active cases has fallen by 59.9 percent from 201,275.

Previously, the Health Ministry released deaths statistics together with the number of new Covid-19 cases in the evening. This had since changed.

Deaths statistics are now released after midnight along with other more detailed data. Malaysiakini reports them in the morning.
