Oct 30, 2020

5 new clusters have been detected in the country! 

 The Health Ministry says two of the new clusters were detected in Sabah, another two in Selangor while one cluster was detected in Negeri Sembilan. 

Meanwhile, for the first time in nearly a month, the number of recovered and discharged Covid-19 patients has exceeded the number of new cases. 

This as we recorded a drop in new Covid-19 cases, with 649 cases and no deaths for the first time since October 7.  

There are currently about 10,000 active cases in the country. 

Sarawak recorded its youngest Covid-19 case, after a two-year-old baby from the Green Hill Cluster tested positive for the virus.

State officials say there are 29 positive cases linked to this cluster, including the index case, a businessman who recently tested positive at a private hospital.

UMNO has decided that its ministers will be staying in government following a lengthy supreme council meeting that ended in the wee hours of today.

However, party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says a general election must be called right after the Covid-19 pandemic is contained to return the people’s mandate and having a stable government.

This is the second time in 4 days that the party has called for a meeting after it announced its support for PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the Perikatan Nasional government.
