DR Awang Bulgiba, chairman of the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry’s Covid-19 Epidemiological Analysis and Strategies Task Force, recently commented on the persistently high Covid-19 death count despite a ramped-up vaccine rollout in the Klang Valley and drop in daily hospital admissions.
Without more disaggregated daily data, we can’t tell if the slowing trend of infections in the Klang Valley may have been compensated by increasing death counts in the less-vaccinated states now grappling with the Delta variant.
