COVID-19 | The Health Ministry today reported 19,378 new Covid-19 cases.

The Klang Valley continues to report less new cases than Sabah and Sarawak for a third day in a row, possibly signalling a shift in the Covid-19 epicentre.

The R-naught for Malaysia is continuing on a month-long downward trend and was 0.97 last night. A R-naught of less than 1.00 suggests that the spread of Covid-19 was slowing down.

The regions of Selangor, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, Putrajaya and Negeri Sembilan all recorded a R-naught of less than 1.00.

Kuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan have the lowest R-naught. Both regions have above average vaccination rates and hospitalisation is steadily reducing. [See hospitalisation chart below]

The anomalous region is Sarawak which has an above average full vaccination rate of 63.3 percent but its hospitalisation rate and new daily cases has been trending up since mid-August.

Active cases are continuing on a seven-day downwards trend since peaking on Aug 28 while the number of confirm Covid-19 patients requiring intensive care have dipped below the 1,000 mark again after seven days.

• Active cases: 259,189
• Patients in ICU*: 975

• UPDATED Sept 2 | Added state-level data on Covid-19 deaths following its release this morning.

COVID-19 | The Health Ministry reported 18,762 new cases of Covid-19 today as the situation in Kelantan – which has the second-lowest vaccination rate in the country – looks increasingly dire.

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.

However, it should be noted that Sabah (lowest vaccination rate) and Sarawak (fourth highest) are moving in different trajectories in terms of hospitalisation.

• Active cases: 265,274
• Patients in ICUs: 1,007
• Intubated: 464

New cases by states

Selangor (3,711)
Sabah (2,430)
Sarawak (2,414)
Johor (1,993)
Penang (1,762)
Kedah (1,585)
Kelantan (1,504)
Perak (899)
Pahang (715)
Kuala Lumpur (573)
Terengganu (506)
Malacca (309)
Negeri Sembilan (291)
Putrajaya (34)
Perlis (33)
Labuan (3)

Based on data released by the Health Ministry, many states and territories have high Covid-19 test positivity rates as of the latest available data on Aug 2.

This suggests there is significant underreporting in these places and the actual number of cases is likely significantly higher, particularly where the test positivity rate exceeds 10 percent.

Clusters

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.

Of the new clusters, 22 are classified as workplace clusters while 17 are community clusters.

Religious events, educational facilities, and detention facilities have each been linked to a new cluster too.

Details of the new clusters are as follow:
