The Ministry of Health has predicted another worrying figure of the daily Covid-19 cases where it might spike back up to 3,000 cases daily by end of May if the rate continues to rise. Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has been sharing the rate of infectivity every day with the value remaining below 0.9 in the past few weeks. As the rate of infectivity has been rising recently and has hit 0.98 as of 23 March.
This rate of infectivity is measured using the R0 value where one infected person is able to transmit the virus to 1.5 other people and currently the R0 value has increased to 0.98 where this projected number will expected to rise again if it doesn’t drop.
It has been three week since the Movement Control Order (MCO) has lifted since 5 March with all economic sector being allowed to operate back and inter-district travels are allowed. But 66% of the Covid-19 cases over the last two week were sporadic with 13,185 cases, while 6,752 cases were linked to cluster. Therefore, everyone is required to follow the standard operating procedures while you are at outside.
