COVID-19 | Malacca’s daily Covid-19 infectivity rate (Rt) of 1.17, the highest in the country yesterday, is due to the 16 active clusters reported in the state throughout last week.
State Health and Anti-Drugs Committee chairperson Rahmad Mariman said the Industri Serkam (80 percent) and Tembok Sungai Udang clusters (10.7 percent) were the ones that contributed the highest number of cases in Malacca.
“We are expecting a slight increase in cases for Industri Serkam today and tomorrow. The total number of cases for this cluster has so far breached the 800 mark as of yesterday,” he told a media conference today.
Rahmad expects the state’s daily Rt to show a decrease within three days once screenings for the Industri Serkam cluster are completed.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that Malacca had recorded the highest Rt as of yesterday, followed by Selangor at 1.10, Johor (1.09), Penang (1.07), Kuala Lumpur (1.03) and Sarawak (1.01).
