The Klang Valley continues to show signs of a downtrend with its total number of daily cases below that of the East Malaysian territories which are increasing of late.

A total of 1,494 out of 4,773 clusters are still active. This includes the 42 new clusters reported today.
Overall these clusters contributed 1,708 (9.1 percent) of today’s cases.
