Health Ministry detects 8 new Covid-19 clusters

Oct 22, 2020

8 new Covid-19 clusters have been detected in Sabah, Labuan and Selangor. 

The new clusters bring the total number of virus clusters since the start of the pandemic to 201, with about half of it no longer active. 

This comes after we reported 732 new infections yesterday, raising the number of active cases in the country to 7,827.

The amended Road Transport Act, which carries heavier punishment for drink and reckless driving, will come into effect tomorrow.. 

The Transport Ministry hopes the latest amendments will create greater public awareness among road users to obey traffic laws to ensure that our roads will be safer for all.

Water supply has been fully restored in almost 1,300 areas in the Klang Valley, affected by the recent unscheduled water cuts.

Earlier this week, 4 water treatment plants were forced to cease operations due to contamination at Sungai Selangor.
