Health Ministry says possible at least one Covid-19 variant already entrenched in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 — Malaysia’s dire Covid-19 situation may worsen further as at least one variant of concern could have spread to all states in the country, the Health Ministry said today.

The variants are causing alarm as they are more infectious than the wild type SARS-CoV-2, could cause more severe symptoms in younger patients, and could be more difficult to detect. “Considering that VOCs have been found to have a higher infectivity rate, all individuals must take the situation seriously,” the ministry said on Twitter today.
