In a press conference today, Khairy Jamaluddin said that there is a 31 percent increase in COVID-19 cases nationwide from July 3 to July 7.
The case of the Omicron sublineage BA.5 variant is already in Malaysia, probably widespread. 31.4 percent of adults have not received a booster dose as of yesterday and the Ministry of Health (MOH) advises adult individuals who have not yet received a booster dose to get it immediately.
The use of face masks in closed premises is still mandatory, and MOH may enforce Act 342 if the cases increase.
