PETALING JAYA: Don’t be alarmed over the high number of Covid-19 cases in the next few days as the daily number will decline in the coming weeks with more tests done and later restrategised, says Health deputy director-general Dr Chong Chee Kheong.

With the Health Ministry encouraging more self-testing and the use of RTK-Antigen (RTK-Ag) to detect the virus, Dr Chong said the daily Covid-19 cases would rise further.
