PETALING JAYA - Malaysians have been reminded to keep wearing their face masks in crowded and enclosed areas as a Covid-19 wave driven by the XBB sub-variant sweeps the nation.
Caretaker health minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the public should remain vigilant and adhere to the TRIIS method – Test, Report, Isolate, Inform and Seek – should they be infected.“Covid-19 cases have reached nearly 4,000 today , with about 96 people in Category 1 and 2,” he said in reference to those with either asymptomatic or mild symptoms
“We are experiencing a wave of infections. Whether the wave is big or small depends on our actions,” he posted on his Twitter account. On Monday, Mr Khairy said that Covid-19 infections due to the XBB subvariant were expected to go up in the next few weeks – to between 3,000 and 5,000 daily cases – with the crest of the wave coinciding with the Nov 19 general election.
