KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 ― The Ministry of Health (MoH) has recorded the country’s new Covid-19 cases breaking the 7,000-case mark for the first time this year today, after logging 7,324 infections in the last 24 hours.
The last time Malaysia recorded daily Covid-19 cases above the 7,000-mark was on October 16 last year after recording 7,509 that day.
The latest figure represents a marked increase of 1,604 cases from the 5,720 new infections recorded yesterday.
It also brings the total number of Covid-19 cases in the country, since the start of the pandemic, to 2,895,014.
This comes as yesterday, the Health Ministry said that the severity of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia is currently its prime concern following the emergence of the Omicron variant rather than the number of daily infections.
