(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) The number of confirmed cases in a single day in Malaysia fell to less than 6,000 for the first time in the past three weeks

　　China News Service, Kuala Lumpur, June 7 (Reporter Chen Yue) The Ministry of Health of Malaysia reported on the 7th that as of 12:00 noon that day, the country had 5,271 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the past 24 hours.

This is the country's first time since the number of newly diagnosed cases in a single day exceeded 6,000 on May 19, and it has fallen back to "5" for the first time.

　　This is also a sharp drop in the number of confirmed cases in a single day in Malaysia for two consecutive days. On June 6, 6,241 new cases were confirmed in a single day in the country, a drop of more than 1,200 cases from the previous day.

In the previous two weeks, most of the newly confirmed cases in Ma’s single day remained above 7,000, and the highest peak exceeded 9,000.

　　Malaysian Ministry of Health Director Nur Hisham pointed out that the basic infection index (R0) of Malaysia has dropped to 0.99 on the 6th, and this number reached 1.21 in late May.

　　Previously, in order to block the chain of virus transmission, the Malaysian government first tightened epidemic prevention measures on May 25, and then implemented a comprehensive movement control order on June 1 to suspend most social and economic activities and encourage people to stay at home as much as possible.

If the number of newly diagnosed cases in a single day can continue to decline in the next few days, it may show that the "closure of the city" measures have initially taken effect.

　　However, Nuer also pointed out that the sporadic infection cases in the community without a clear source of infection in Malaysia have increased significantly recently.

As of last week, sporadic infections have accounted for more than 80% of the total cases for three consecutive weeks.

Noor believes that this shows that the new crown virus has a higher pathogenicity rate and stronger transmission ability. "The new crown virus has spread in communities, shopping malls, and workplaces."

He urged the Malaysian people to take this situation seriously and continue to "not go out if it is not necessary."
