No fourth wave: Malaysia still handling the third wave of Covid-19 infections, says Dr Adham


KOTA TINGGI (Bernama): Malaysia has not entered the fourth wave of Covid-19 as the number of cases in the third wave has not shown a significant decline, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (pic).

A fourth wave would have considered to have occurred if domestic transmissions drop to "baseline" or zero cases in the third wave before the number increases sharply the next day, he told Bernama when met at Surau As-Syakirin here on Saturday (April 17).
