Covid-19 (Sept 20): 14,345 new cases, 1,683 in the Klang Valley

COVID-19 | The Health Ministry today reported 14,345 new Covid-19 cases.

The new case count for Klang Valley (1,683) and neighbouring Negeri Sembilan (125) has now slipped to levels not seen since early May.

The Klang Valley's share of new cases is only 11.73 percent of the national total  - down from an average share of 48 percent - as the epicentre for Covid-19 shifts away from the capital.

The Covid-19 is still widespread in the states of Sarawak, Johor, Sabah, Penang, Perak and Kelantan - all in four figures.

The R-naught for the country is 0.92. It has been below 1.00 since Sept 1. An R-naught of less than 1.00 suggests that the spread of Covid-19 is decelerating.

Only six regions have an R-naught of more than 1.00 - Pahang, Sarawak, Perak and Terengganu.

The Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan have the lowest R-naught in the country while it is 0.00 for Labuan.
