Malaysia Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Report Weekly report for the week ending 6 December 2020 Malaysia Situation summary As of 6 December 2020, there have been a total of 72 694 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Malaysia. In the past week, 8209 new cases have been reported, a 15.5% decrease of cases compared to the previous week. Of the new cases reported, only 32 (0.4%) were imported. In the past week, 25 new deaths have been reported, bringing the total number of COVID-19 deaths in Malaysia to 382. Upcoming events and priorities The National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) is prepared to re-activate the low-risk COVID- 19 quarantine and treatment centre at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) if needed. The opening of the centre will be subject to the decision of the Ministry of Health (MOH). The MOH has rejected the proposal for a green work bubble to allow factory workers who have tested negative and are still undergoing their 14-day quarantine to return to work early. Authorities are currently reviewing data to evaluate the need to shorten mandatory quarantine periods for international travellers into Malaysia. Selangor state government has established three initiatives to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the state. It includes: o Isolating Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) cargo workers. o Identifying five locations to open low-risk COVID-19 quarantine and treatment centres. o Increasing coordination with district health officers to expedite foreign workers’ screenings. The MOH has spent an estimated total of RM 1.17 billion on the nation’s fight against COVID-19. The funds have been used for the procurement of devices, medical supplies, consumables, personal protective equipment (PPE), test kits and reagents, as well as other services. National transmission assessment At the national level, Malaysia remains in Stage 2, localized community transmission. The total number of cases reported decreased by about 15% from 9711 cases in the previous week to 8209 new cases reported in the past seven days. Of the new cases, 0.4% were imported cases and 99.6% were locally acquired cases. Selangor and Sabah continue to be the two states with the greatest number of new cases reported. In the week ending 6 December 2020, Selangor reported 2879 cases (35.1% of total) and Sabah reported 2093 new cases (25.5% of total).
