COVID-19 | The Health Ministry reported 22,642 new cases of Covid-19 today.

Four states – Kedah, Johor, Perak, and Kelantan reported record highs.

Sabah is reporting more than 3,000 cases for the second day in a row.

Meanwhile, Selangor is also experiencing a resurgence in cases, after cases dipped below 6,000 for three days.

Overall, nine states and territories reported four-digit cases today.

Meanwhile, a total of 171,327 people had been sample for Covid-19 in the 24 hours up to noon today. This yields an unofficial test positivity rate of 13.22 percent.

For context, the average test positivity rate for the last 14 days including today is 13.86 percent.

The test positivity rate has exceeded 10 percent for 36 consecutive days, which suggest a persistently high degree of under-testing and the actual number of Covid-19 cases is likely significantly higher than the reported figures.

• Active cases: 264,292
• Patients in ICUs: 1,003
• Intubated: 490

Despite these setbacks, both ICU and ventilator usage are on a one-month low.

The last time the number of ICU patients were lower than today’s figures was on July 25 with 970 cases, while ventilator use was 468 on July 24.

The numbers are for confirmed Covid-19 cases only and do not include ‘probable’ cases that were still pending confirmation on the reporting date.

Deaths

A total of 265 Covid-19 fatalities have been reported today, bringing the total death toll to 14,818. This includes 66 today who have no history of chronic illness.

COVID-19 | The Health Ministry reported 20,837 new cases of Covid-19 today.

The Klang Valley reported cases below the 6,000 mark for the second straight day.

However, the situation outside the Klang Valley continues to worsen.

Five states – Sabah, Penang, Johor, Kelantan, and Perlis hit record highs today.

It is the first time Sabah is reporting more than 3,000 cases, while Penang is also reporting more than 2,000 daily cases for the first time.

• Active cases: 262,713
• Patients in ICUs: 1,063
• Intubated: 511

There were 211 fatalities today, bringing the death toll to 14,553. This includes 42 today who have no history of chronic illness.

The deaths are reported in Johor (41), Selangor (36), Kedah (32), Penang (23), Sabah (17), Perak (16), Negeri Sembilan (12), Kuala Lumpur (10), Pahang (9), Terengganu (5), Malacca (3), Kelantan (3), Perlis (2), Sarawak (2).

Forty of the deceased had died before reaching a hospital, mostly in Penang (11) and Johor (10).

New cases by state

As of the latest available data (yesterday), Covid-19’s effective reproduction number (R_t) in Malaysia is 1.01.

An R_t of any number higher than 1.00 indicates an outbreak that is accelerating in pace.

The states with the highest R_t are Sarawak (1.26), Perlis (1.25), and Sabah (1.14)

The states and territories that have Rt below 1.00 – suggesting an outbreak that is in decline – are Selangor (0.96), Kuala Lumpur (0.90), Negeri Sembilan (0.85), Putrajaya (0.81), and Labuan (negligible).

COVID-19 | The Health Ministry today reported 17,672 new Covid-19 cases.

Selangor (4,316) reported new cases below the 5,000 mark for the first time in 35 days.

The number of people in quarantine centres in Selangor has also steadily dropping over the past week as was the number of people hospitalised for Covid-19. Selangor’s ICU bed use, however, is holding steady over the past week.

Overall, new case numbers in the Klang Valley – where 66.7 percent of the adult population (2010 census numbers) have been fully vaccinated – has been steadily dropping since Aug 6.

While this augurs well for the most populated part of the country, other regions where the vaccination rate is not as high are seeing an uptrend in case counts and hospitalisations.

Sabah (2,474)

COVID-19 | The Health Ministry today reported a total of 19,807 new Covid-19 cases, dipping under 20,000 for the first time in five days.

The ministry also reported another 232 fatalities from Covid-19 today, putting the death toll above 14,000.

The new locally transmitted infections comprised 83.86 percent Malaysians and 16.14 percent non-citizens.

COVID-19 | Malaysia has reported 19,740 new Covid-19 cases today, with record highs in Sarawak and Malacca.

Key figures:

• Active cases: 249,277
• Patients in ICU: 1,047
• Intubated: 520

Active cases are continuing on a 53-day ongoing climb while the number of patients needing intensive care or ventilators have remained mostly unchanged for the past three weeks.

However, the number of daily deaths have been trending upwards over the same period. [See chart below].

States

• Selangor (5,706)
• Sabah (1,728)
• Kedah (1,592)
• Sarawak (1,566)
• Johor (1,510)
• Kuala Lumpur (1,360)
• Penang (1,251)
• Kelantan (1,227)

• Perak (938)
• Terengganu (688)
• Pahang (646)
• Negeri Sembilan (343)
• Putrajaya (43)

Health Ministry data showed that 36 percent (7,109) of cases were located in the Klang Valley, while most cases were reported outside the region.

In Malacca, the state recorded 1,120 cases today – the first time it has reported cases in the thousands.

Sarawak, meanwhile, reported 1,566 cases.

Overall, nine states and territories have reported four-digit case numbers today including Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

As of last night, the R-naught for the country was at 1.05. An R-naught of more than 1.00 suggests that the spread of Covid-19 was accelerating.

On a positive note, the R-naught for Kuala Lumpur is now below 1.00 for the first time in months. The Kuala Lumpur region has a high vaccination rate.

The other two regions with an R-naught of below 1.00 are Labuan and Putrajaya – two other areas also with high vaccination rates.

Deaths

Another 274 deaths attributed to Covid-19 were reported today, bringing the national death toll to 12,874.

There were 77 victims who were pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
