- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Malaysia has experienced another surge in Covid-19 cases. On Friday, May 28, 2021, an additional 8,290 cases were recorded in the neighboring country, the highest number throughout the pandemic. This increase is also the highest in Southeast Asia.
A surge in cases previously occurred in Malaysia at the end of January 2021, with an additional 3,000-4,000 cases per day. The rate of infection subsequently slowed, but has been rising again since mid-April 2021.
This new wave of the coronavirus pandemic in Malaysia is due to the formation of numerous infection clusters. Several originated from religious events, workplaces, schools, prisons, and communities.
To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the public is urged to diligently follow the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining physical distancing, and washing hands with soap. The public is also encouraged to avoid crowds and reduce mobility.
