Covid-19

I have not been in the right mood to make any blog entry for almost a month.  The whole world is in a state of despair.  The world will never be the same again.

Malaysia announced its first Covid-19 cases on Jan 25 involving three China tourists who had entered Malaysia via Johor from Singapore on Jan 23. The number of cases then rose to 22 by Feb 16, representing a first wave of cases. A second wave of cases began on Feb 27 and since then the number of people affected by the coronavirus has risen to more than 1,000.


To stem the number of new cases, the government imposed a two week Movement Control Order starting March 18 to March 31.  The MCO was then extended twice, with current phase to end on April 28.


Today the situation in the country is as follows:

Date
