Noor Hisham pointed to the World Health Organization's (WHO) prediction that Malaysia will still be at “war” with Covid-19 even until next year, unless a vaccine for the coronavirus is found and made available to the public.

As daily recoveries exceeded daily new infections for the eleventh time, active infections have fallen to 2,103 cases; there are a total of 5,389 cases as at yesterday.
