COVID-19 | The Health Ministry today reported 13,034 new Covid-19 infections, 181 cases shy of the record high.

The highest record was on July 15 where 13,215 new infections were registered.
- Active cases: 142,051
- Patients in ICUs: 938
- Intubated: 459
The climb today was largely contributed by a surge in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Selangor saw new infection rise to above 6,049, the second time the state saw more than 6,000 new cases in a day.
Kuala Lumpur reported 1,611 new cases, the third-highest on record for the federal territory.
New cases in Johor, Negeri Sembilan and Kedah also remain elevated, at more than 700.
