The Health Ministry today reported 1,925 new Covid-19 cases, while the number of active cases soared past 21,000 to set the fourth consecutive day of new records.

Over half the cases were concentrated in the Klang Valley with Selangor in the lead, but Pahang also saw a surge in cases driven almost entirely by the Tembok Mempaga cluster (282 out of 288 cases in the state).

The Tembok Mempaga cluster involved a Covid-19 outbreak in a prison.
