No new Covid-19 cases in Malaysia

The Health Ministry says there are no new Covid-19 infections today, leaving the country's total at 22, while seven are still being treated. 

Yesterday, it confirmed the number of fully-recovered coronavirus patients had increased to 15, after two more confirmed cases were allowed to go home.
