Malaysia is still at 15 red zones, the last figure recorded on March 26, with Selangor and Kuala Lumpur still among the worst-affected areas with Johor also having fairly high numbers.

Significantly, the Hulu Langat district in Selangor has emerged as the red zone in Malaysia with the highest number of recorded Covid-19 cases at 258 cases, surpassing even the Petaling and Lembah Pantai districts.


This appears to be the first time that the Hulu Langat has emerged as the top red zone since the Health Ministry started releasing figures by district over the last few days.

As of March 30 noon, the number of cases in the 15 red zones are: Hulu Langat (258), Lembah Pantai (226), Petaling (224), Seremban (118), Johor Bahru (108), Kluang (106), Kuching (81), Kota Bahru (79), Kinta (76), Kepong (75), Klang (70), Titiwangsa (64), Tawau (60), Gombak (59), and Hilir Perak (56).

Altogether these 15 red zones alone account for 1,660 cases.

In other words, 63 per cent of all the 2,626 Covid cases detected in Malaysia as of March 30 have been recorded in just these 15 red zones. [...]

So far the government has issued three enhanced movement control of orders (EMCO) on two villages in Simpang Renggam in the red zone of Kluang in Johor, seven villages in the red zone of Hulu Langat, and a condominium building in Kuala Lumpur.

  1. We should stay at home. The instruction from the Government is clear. Self isolate yourself. Contact should be made by phone or internet. For urgencies drive solo unless if you are providing health care or helping a vulnerable person.

    The Tabligh cluster are NOT given Covid-19 test, even for those who reported themselves to Covid-19 health centres. No fever and no symptoms, so not PUI (people under investigation). They are asked to go home. Please don't blame Tabligh for propagating the virus.

    Be prepared. Covid-19 situation in Malaysia is going to get worst. Expect MCO or EMCO to be extended until Hari Raya. Hospital Sungai Buloh is full. KMM is getting ready with more than 5000 beds.

    Stay Safe. Keep Well. Drink a lot of warm water, with lemon if possible, to make it alkaline.
