Dr Noor Hisham: National RT back to 1.0 could be early sign of another Covid-19 wave

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — The effective reproduction number of Covid-19 infections in Malaysia surging back up to 1.0 could be an early sign of another wave of the coronavirus epidemic, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said today.

“When the Rt is at 1.0, it means cases are stagnant and not dropping like we want them to. This could be an early sign that cases may start to rise again,” he said during a press conference today. From November 5 to 8, cases were in the mid-4,000s, but recently hit the mid-6,000s, including today’s 6,517 cases, the highest recorded number of daily cases since the 6,630 cases reported on October 22.

Malaysia has vaccinated more than 95 per cent of its adult population and booster shots are now being rolled out to frontliners and the vulnerable.
