Health D-G Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah took Facebook to share a graph for Rt value in Sabah, Selangor, and Kedah urging Malaysians to strictly adhere to the SOPs and measures set by the government.
Rt value indicates how fast COVID-19 is spreading. Selangor has recorded a 1.95 Rt, much higher than Sabah, following a surge in daily new infections from 2 to 3 cases to 10 to15 cases.
Somehow, Rt value in Sabah has stabilized, although it was recorded at 1.29 yesterday ( Sep 29) the situation is still worrying, as it involves a high number of new cases.
While, the Rt in Kedah decreased to 0.65, and it is in line with the decrease in cases in the state, which recorded only 2 cases in 4 days.
Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah said it took into account the magnitude of the change and showed an increased pandemic risk in the state if public health prevention measures are not taken.
Our fight with the invisible enemy is not over yet. please strictly adhere to the SOP given, mask on in public places, safe distancing, wash hand frequently, and avoid public places for the elderly and children for now! #kitajagakita #fightcovid-19
