PETALING JAYA: A drop in the number of active cases has left six states free of red zones.
They are Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu and Perak.
An area is classified as a red zone when the number of active cases exceeds 41. Orange zones have 21 to 40 cases while green zones are areas with no active cases.
A chart released by the health ministry shows the majority of the red zones are in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Selangor remains the state with the highest number of Covid-19 cases at 1,340. However, the number of red zones has dropped from six to four after a drop in active cases.

Sepang (23 active cases) and Hulu Selangor (10), which were earlier red zones, have been reclassified as orange zones.
