Now to the uninitiated.. @KKMPutrajaya has been putting out our #COVID19 data in a website called #CovidNow as below 👇🏻 ..
which gives a full range of info like vaccination rates, hospitalization data, case numbers etc .. #Malaysia .. 1/n

Nevertheless, current #COVID19 data in #Malaysia definitely shows a rising trend. I'm sure many amongst us are seeing cases in our friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, students, church family etc..

Is there a commonality in the present cases, especially the clusters ? .. 2/n
Taking present "official" 20 #COVID19 clusters in #Malaysia (I say "official" some obvious "clusters" were not reported eg: by JKN, in #Penang ) .. 🤔

Back to the "official" 20 clusters:
10 = Education 50%
8 = High Risk 40%
1 = Detention Centre 5%
1 = Workplace 5% .. 3/n

I am putting pen to paper to say this winter is going from bad to worse. Please read on but @NSWHealth the whole system is under pressure and this is worse than 2021 because nearly every hospitla is impacted.
#COVID19 fewer people are testing! Of the 178,462 PCR tests reported 11.5% were positive. 467 people with COVID-19 were admitted to hospital and 43 were admitted to ICU this week, but this is down from the week before.
But while #OmicronBA2 is the dominant strain #OmicronBA5 is increasing and is now 22% of isolates. This is concerning as it has the potential for more immune escape, especially for those not infected in January and with only x2 vaccine doses, you are at risk!
