The Sri Petaling tabligh gathering cluster, which became the epicentre of the country's Covid-19 pandemic, has finally been resolved.

Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said no new cases from the cluster have been detected for 28 days.

This is the second time in a week the country has recorded no new local transmission. The last was on July 2nd.

Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has urged Malaysians not to discriminate or stigmatise the group involved in a tabligh gathering at a mosque in Sri Petaling late last month.

He said the focus should be on detecting and containing the spread of the coronavirus in that group and their contacts. 60% of the total cases in the country are linked to this cluster. 

Malaysia recorded 106 new Covid-19 cases as of noon today, bringing the total to 1,624 cases.

Of the 106 new cases, he said 43 were traced to the cluster of infections from the tabligh gathering.

MOH has confirmed 927 cases of PUI have been identified as being linked to a tabligh congregation at the Sri Petaling mosque.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has announced the discovery of an additional new cluster in Sarawak known as the Taman BDC cluster in Kuching.
