Update On COVID-19 Cases With Variants of Concern (VOC) And Variants of Interests (VOI) (15/08/2021)
The cumulative total for both VOC & VOI cases nationwide is 667 to date.
46 new cases were reported for the Delta variant yesterday taking its cumulative total to 424. More than half its cummulative cases at 272 are in Sarawak with no new cases reported there yesterday.
Every state in Malaysia has reported the Delta variant with Selangor the highest in the Peninsular with 31 cases in total. Even the safest state Perlis has recorded 4 cases, while Penang has the lowest at 1.
Only 1 new case was reported for the Beta variant taking its cummulative total to 209.
The rest of the variants did not see any new cases and cumulatively still remain low.
Malaysia is fortunate that the said to be more infectious Lambda variant originating from Peru, which has now been discovered in 30 countries, has not penetrated our borders as yet. The Ministry of Health (KKM) has ordered tighter border controls to curb this variant from sneaking in. Those who are returning from overseas need to be absolutely vigilant in the compliance of their SOPs and must follow all their quarantine protocols diligently & honestly, and not put their fellow citizens at risk.
