The bulk of the drop in total cases in the period was in Selangor, down to 130 cases versus 170. The steep fall was mainly in Hulu Langat that saw 23 cases, falling from 58 cases. As such, Hulu Langat was no longer a red zone yesterday.

Of the 19 new cases, six were imported, while the remaining 13 cases were locally transmitted. Of the local transmissions, 11 cases involved Malaysians, while two cases involved foreigners.

Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) said it had published its base guidelines on May 1 to guide hotels into the new norm of hotel operations.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin: “If we can all be disciplined, I believe that our control of the virus will continue and we can enter the normalisation phase after Aug 31 until a vaccine for Covid-19 has been found."
