COVID-19 | The authorities have yet to discuss imposing lockdown measures for Selangor, although case numbers in the state are rising.
Currently, there are 105 people being treated for Covid-19 in Selangor, the highest after Kedah and Sabah which has some districts placed under strict lockdown rules known as the targeted enhanced movement control order (MCO).
However, unlike Kedah and Sabah, none of the districts in Selangor has more than 40 cases, which would result in the district being termed a "red zone".
"We haven't discussed whether we need to lockdown or not. That is for Selangor," said Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
The Klang district accounts for the source of the highest active case numbers (28) with some students having contracted the virus.
According to Klang MP Charles Santiago, 64 parent-teacher associations have petitioned to the district education office to close schools in the area immediately.
Two new clusters have also emerged in Selangor today, bringing the total active clusters in the state to three.
Malaysia recorded 287 new cases today - the highest on record - of this 31 were recorded in Selangor. - Mkini
