Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) ingin memaklumkan bahawa terdapat 15 kes yang telah pulih dan dibenarkan discaj pada hari ini. Jumlah kumulatif kes yang telah pulih sepenuhnya dari COVID-19 dan telah discaj daripada wad adalah sebanyak 8,461 kes (97.7 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan kes).

STATUS TERKINI KES COVID-19 DI MALAYSIA

Sehingga 4 Julai 2020 pukul 12:00 tengah hari, terdapat 10 kes baharu yang telah dilaporkan. Ini menjadikan jumlah kes positif COVID-19 di Malaysia adalah sebanyak 8,658 kes. Oleh itu, jumlah kes aktif dengan kebolehjangkitan COVID-19 adalah 76 kes. Mereka telah diasingkan dan diberi rawatan.

Ingin dimaklumkan daripada 10 kes baharu yang dilaporkan, tujuh (7) kes adalah kes import yang mendapat jangkitan di luar negara yang melibatkan semua warganegara Malaysia. Daripada tiga (3) kes penularan di dalam negara, satu (1) kes adalah bukan warganegara iaitu kes saringan Orang Kena Tahan (OKT) di Seremban, Negeri Sembilan sebelum dipindahkan ke penjara. Dua (2) kes adalah di kalangan warganegara Malaysia. Berikut adalah perincian kes-kes tersebut:

• Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur: satu (1) kes saringan pra pembedahan di Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM. Kes tersebut telah dipindahkan ke Hospital Sungai Buloh;
• Sabah: satu (1) kes saringan petugas kesihatan yang telah tamat bertugas di sebuah pusat kuarantin di Likas.

Sehingga kini, terdapat dua (2) kes positif COVID-19 yang sedang dirawat di Unit Rawatan Rapi (ICU). Kedua-dua kes tersebut memerlukan bantuan pernafasan.

Adalah dimaklumkan bahawa tiada pertambahan kes kematian berkaitan COVID-19 dilaporkan pada hari ini. Justeru, jumlah kumulatif kes kematian COVID-19 di Malaysia adalah kekal sebanyak 121 kes (1.39 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan kes).

KLUSTER PUDU TAMAT

Sukacita KKM ingin memaklumkan kluster baru yang tamat iaitu Kluster Pudu. Kluster ini adalah kluster kediaman di Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur yang mula dikesan daripada saringan pekerja di sebuah tapak pembinaan. Kes positif COVID-19 pertama kluster ini dikesan pada 10 Mei 2020 susulan saringan COVID-19 yang telah dijalankan bagi pekerja (inisiatif majikan syarikat tersebut).

Sehingga 3 Julai 2020, seramai 3,387 telah disaring dan didapati 80 kes yang positif COVID-19 (iaitu kadar positif 2.36 peratus). Kes-kes positif kluster ini merangkumi 97.5 peratus bukan warganegara Malaysia. Antara warganegara yang terlibat adalah seperti berikut:

• 69 warga Bangladesh;
• Tujuh (7) warga Myanmar;
• Dua (2) warga Indonesia; dan
• Dua (2) warganegara Malaysia.

Kawalan pentadbiran telah dilaksanakan di kawasan kluster ini dengan bantuan pelbagai agensi lain bagi menjalankan aktiviti pengesanan kes secara aktif (Active Case Detection) dan seterusnya langkah pembendungan penularan jangkitan. Hasil siasatan mendapati bahawa faktor yang menyumbang kepada penularan jangkitan COVID-19 dalam kluster ini adalah penginapan yang sesak dan mempunyai ruang yang sempit. Keadaan ini telah mengakibatkan tiada amalan penjarakan sosial yang selamat (social distancing) di kalangan mereka yang dikesan positif.

KKM ingin mengucapkan syabas kepada semua pihak yang telah memberikan perkhidmatan masing-masing dalam segala aktiviti berkaitan kluster ini.

Current Status of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases Who Have Recovered

The Ministry of Health (MOH) would like to inform that 15 cases have fully recovered and discharged well today. Cumulatively, 8,461 confirmed COVID-19 cases have fully recovered (97.7% of total cumulative cases).

Current Situation of COVID-19 in Malaysia

Of the 10 additional cases reported today, seven (7) are imported cases who were infected overseas, all involving Malaysians. Of the three (3) local transmission cases, one (1) case is a non-Malaysian – from screening of a police suspect in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan prior to transfer to prison; and two (2) cases among Malaysians. The details of these 2 cases are as follows:

• Kuala Lumpur – 1 case: Pre-surgical screening in Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (UKM) Hospital. The patient has been transferred to Sungai Buloh Hospital.
• Sabah – 1 case: Screening of healthcare workers who have completed work duties at a quarantine centre in Likas.

Currently, two (2) confirmed COVID-19 cases are receiving treatment in intensive care units (ICUs) and both patients are on ventilation support.

Fortunately, no additional COVID-19 death was reported to the National CPRC MOH today. Cumulatively, there are now 121 COVID-19 deaths in Malaysia (1.39% of total cumulative cases).

The Pudu Cluster Ends

MOH would like to inform that the Pudu Cluster has ended. This was a residential cluster in Kuala Lumpur first detected from screening of workers at a construction site. The first confirmed COVID-19 case was detected on 10 May 2020 following a COVID-19 screening of workers that was initiated by the employer.

As of 3 July 2020, a total of 3,387 individuals have been screened, and 80 confirmed COVID-19 cases were found (a positive rate of 2.36%), with 97.5% of cases among non-Malaysians. The details of the nationalities of the cases are as follows:

• 69 cases – Bangladeshi nationals
• 7 cases – Myanmar nationals
• 2 cases – Indonesians nationals
• 2 cases – Malaysians

Administrative movement restriction was implemented in this cluster area with the assistance of various agencies to conduct active case detection and implement subsequent infection control measures. The investigation showed that the main factor contributing to the spread of COVID-19 infection in the cluster was crowded and cramped living quarters. It was not possible to practice safe social distancing in this circumstance among those found to be positive for COVID-19.

MOH would like to thank all parties that have provided their respective services for all activities related to this cluster.
