KUALA LUMPUR (April 29): Malaysia reported 94 new Covid-19 cases today, exceeding 55 cured cases reported, according to the Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
The last time the number of daily infections exceeded the number of cured cases was on April 21, with 57 new infections against 54 cured cases.
However, this is also the 13th consecutive day that Malaysia has reported double-digit figures for daily new infections.
Cumulative infections in Malaysia now stand at 5,945, making it the country with the fourth highest number of Covid-19 infections in Southeast Asia after Singapore (15,641), Indonesia (9,511) and the Philippines (8,212).
Meanwhile, Malaysia’s recovered cases are now at 4,087, representing a recovery rate of 68.75%, said Noor Hisham in a statement.
Due to the jump in new Covid-19 infections, the number of active cases also rose slightly to 1,758 patients from 1,719 reported yesterday, all of whom are currently isolated and being treated in Ministry of Health hospitals across the country.
Of the 94 new cases, 72 were imported cases involving Malaysians who had returned from Indonesia.
As the cases were detected in Negeri Sembilan, this has pushed the state’s tally of total cases to 508, or 8.5% of overall cases.
Noor Hisham said the remainder 22 were local transmissions.
Meanwhile 40 patients were being treated in the intensive care unit, with 18 of them requiring respiratory assistance.
No death was recorded today, hence the death toll in the country remains at 100, translating into a mortality rate of 1.68%.
