Positivity rate at highest peak since April with relaxation of protocols

PETALING JAYA: With Malaysia now conducting fewer Covid-19 tests following the relaxation of protocols, the country’s positivity rate has shot up to 9.9% – the highest since April this year.

The positivity rate refers to the proportion of Covid-19 tests that return positive, and it was used as a guide during the height of the pandemic to see if a country is conducting tests adequately.
