Rt value falling steadily

KUALA LUMPUR: The national Covid-19 infectivity rate (Rt) was 1.06 on Sunday, a 0.02 decrease from the 1.08 value reported on Saturday.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin tweeted that although the country’s daily Rt had steadily dropped to 1.05, it is too early to say if Malaysia had passed the peak of the Omicron variant, even with 96% of active cases recovering at home and hospital capacity currently under control.
