Public concern is growing over a mass event attended by 14,500 Malaysians that has already brought Covid-19 to parts of the country that had not previously experienced it. Dr Noor Hisham said this was the definition of “close contact” communicated to the ministry’s health workers. Malaysia recorded another 39 cases yesterday, bringing the country’s total confirmed Covid-19 infections to 197.
