PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry is concerned over the rising national Covid-19 infectivity rate (Rt), which has led to an increase in infections.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said although main indicators such as average active cases, deaths and intensive care unit cases were on a downward trend in the 45th epidemiological week from Nov 7-13, the Rt – now at 1.05 – has been rising.
