Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said only 718 active cases of COVID-19 infection among tahfiz students and staff have been identified to date.

Thirty-three new positive cases of COVID-19, including three local transmissions involving Malaysians, were reported today as Malaysia entered the third day of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The number of new COVID-19 cases reported in the country today remained at double digits at 37, with only 10 involving Malaysians, said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah. 

The number of new COVID-19 positive cases dropped back to two digits today with 19, nine of them involving Malaysians.

The cause of the spread of the new COVID-19 cluster, the Cheras Apartment cluster, is likely to be due to home visits before and during Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

There have been no COVID-19-related fatalities in the country for 10 straight days since May 23, with the death toll remaining at 115, or 1.46 percent of the total number of cases.
