COVID-19 | The Covid-19 situation in Johor is still under control although new clusters have emerged recently, with the latest being the Jeri cluster involving the districts of Kota Tinggi, Mersing and Muar.
State Health and Environment Committee chairperson R Vidyananthan said the rise in the number of reported cases, particularly in Kota Tinggi, was the result of active case detection and increased surveillance by the State Health Department in curbing the pandemic.
“Until Nov 16, the number of active clusters in Johor remained at five, namely the Jeri, Meldrum, Bayu, Kempas and Padang clusters,” he said in a statement today.
Vidyananthan added that the state government wished to commend and thank all the frontliners from various agencies in carrying out their duties during the enforcement of the enhanced movement control order (MCO) at the Health Ministry’s Johor Bahru Training Institute in Kempas.
“On Nov 16, the enhanced MCO there ended after 14 days of its implementation,” he added.
