PUTRAJAYA: With the movement control order (MCO) now extended by two more weeks, Malaysia is on the right track in its effort to reduce the Covid-19 infectivity rate.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that a disease’s infectivity is quantified by a figure called “R0”, which is pronounced “R-Naught”.

“We expect by April 14, our R0 will go to 0.9, which means one person will potentially infect 0.9 people. “We are on the right track to bring the R0 down further, ” said Dr Hisham at a press conference here on Friday .
