Covid-19 (April 12): 1,317 new cases, Sarawak tops the list again

 


The Health Ministry today reported 1,317 new Covid-19 cases, with Sarawak topping the list with 351 infections.

Sarawak has recorded the highest number of new daily infections in four of the last seven days.

Meanwhile, Selangor reported 303 new Covid-19 cases. Three other states reported a three-digit increase in new infections.

They are Kuala Lumpur (116), Penang (112) and Sabah (109).

The new infections comprised 84.05 percent Malaysians and 15.95 percent non-citizens.

The Klang Valley accounted for 32.5 percent (428 cases) of new infections, while East Malaysia made up 34.93 percent (460 cases) of the fresh infections.

On the flip side, 1,052 Covid-19 patients recovered today, but they were outpaced by new infections, contributing to a rise in active cases.

  • Active cases: 15,835
  • Patients in ICUs: 188
  • Intubated: 84

Meanwhile, the infectivity rate (R-naught) yesterday stood at 1.06, the fourth consecutive day the rate is above 1.0.

A sustained value of more than 1.0 will lead to exponential growth in new cases.

 Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah noted this would be the second year Muslims go through Ramadan amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

He noted that compared to last year, Ramadan bazaars would be allowed, although some states like Kelantan have decided to take precautions and ban them.

Noor Hisham urged people to take precaution and learn from the recent surge in Covid-19 cases due to social activities.

The fasting month begins tomorrow.

There were four fatalities today, bringing the death toll to 1,333.

The new deaths were recorded in Kuala Lumpur (2), Selangor (1) and Sabah (1).
