Malaysia has succeeded in flattening the infection curve and is now in the recovery phase to stamp out the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

He said this is based on the examination of the predictive model, where the data on April 3 was 217 new cases but the ministry did not see any further peak since then.

The ministry had initially braced for a peak on April 14 of 6,300 new cases but this figure was not seen.

Malaysia may have flattened the Covid-19 infection curve thanks to the implementation of the movement control order (MCO).

However, Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the government is still working to reduce the number of new infections.

Malaysia today reported 168 recoveries and 134 new Covid-19 cases in the past 24-hours. This puts the total number of cases at 4,817, with a slight reduction in active cases to 2,464. This means, over 47% of Covid-19 patients have recovered to date.

Phase one of the Movement Control Order (MCO) 3.0 that came into force on June 1 has shown positive developments in the effort to flatten the COVID-19 infection curve.

The newly announced CMCO imposed on most of the states in Malaysia could be shortened from four weeks to two.

Dr Noor Hisham also noted that at present, critical cases represent about five percent of the total number of COVID-19 cases.

World Health Organisation said there are signs of a flattening of the infection curve.
