The infectivity rate seems to be following a downward trend with an r-naught value of 1.07 as of 22 July, which means that one infected person is able to spread the virus to 1.07 other people.
Meanwhile, Malaysia also recorded the highest number of vaccinations in one day on 22 July with 507,050 doses administered nationwide. Of that number, 335,977 were administered their first dose and 171,073 were administered their second doses.
Let’s hope that the increased rate of vaccinations will be able to bring the daily infections down and that more Malaysians will be protected from Covid-19.
