Covid-19 (Oct 13): 7,950 new cases

 


COVID-19 | The Health Ministry today reported 7,950 new Covid-19 cases today, bringing the cumulative infections to 2,361,529.

They were surpassed by a total of 10,832 Covid-19 patients who recovered today. This is expected to help reduce the number of active cases.

  • · Patients in ICU: 725
  • · Intubated: 380

As of today, the number of Covid-19 patients (including suspected ones) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is 14.0 percent lower compared to a week ago.

Those who require intubation have also declined by 14.0 percent from a week ago.

Beginning Oct 9, the Health Ministry will only publish today's breakdown of new cases by states after midnight on its CovidNow portal.

The breakdown by states for yesterday (Oct 12), where 7,276 new cases were reported, is as follow:

Selangor (1,302)
Kelantan (1,028)
Sarawak (834)
Sabah (707)
Johor (665)
Kedah (517)
Terengganu (420)
Penang (406)
Pahang (384)
Perak (336)
Kuala Lumpur (253)
Malacca (195)
Negeri Sembilan (138)
Perlis (57)
Putrajaya (32)
Labuan (2)

As of yesterday, the R-naught for the country is 0.88. A R-naught of less than 1.00 is good because it suggests that the spread of Covid-19 was decelerating.

The only regions where the R-naught was above 1.00 are Putrajaya, Negeri Sembilan and Perlis.

However, hospital bed use by Covid-19 patients is generally trending down over the past months, except in Sarawak. [See chart below]

To date, 762 Covid-19 clusters are still active, including 13 new clusters reported today.
