KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — New Covid-19 cases jumped back up to nearly 7,000 as of noon after dipping below the psychological threshold of 5,000 in the last two days, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah tweeted today.
Infections in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur accounted for close to half of the 6,849 reported positive cases. Cumulative cases now stood at 646,411.
Selangor, the country’s most populous state which has ramped up testing since last month, reported 2,558 cases while neighbouring Kuala Lumpur recorded 884.
Sarawak and Negri Sembilan accounted for the third and fourth highest cases, at 699 and 685 respectively.
Today marks the 11th day the Ministry of Health recorded between 6,000 and 7,000 daily cases, the last being May 20.
Malaysia has reached a peak of 9,000 daily cases once, on May 29, recorded cases above 8,000 twice on May 28 and June 3, and saw seven days where between 7,000 and 8,000 cases were recorded.
The country has been placed under “total lockdown” since June 1 as the National Security Council bids to curb the surge in cases and relieve a strained healthcare system.
