Kesemua enam (6) kes penularan di dalam negara adalah di kalangan warganegara Malaysia. Perincian kes penularan COVID-19 dalam negara adalah seperti berikut:

Semua kes import ini adalah di Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur. Mereka telah diasingkan di pusat kuarantin selepas ketibaan di Pintu Masuk Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), justeru tidak membawa risiko jangkitan kepada masyarakat setempat. Implementasi kawalan sempadan antarabangsa yang ketat adalah penting bagi mengelakkan berlakunya penularan dalam negara bagi jangkitan COVID-19 yang berpunca dari luar negara.

PRESS STATEMENT
MINISTRY OF HEALTH MALAYSIA
UPDATES ON THE CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)

Cumulatively there are now 9,023 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. Therefore, there are currently 196 active and infective COVID-19 cases. They have all been isolated and given treatment.
Of the 21 additional cases reported today, 15 are imported cases who were infected overseas, all involving Malaysians, as detailed below.
All six (6) local transmission cases are amongst Malaysians. The details are as follows:

- Papua New Guinea (1 case)
- Ivory Coast (1 case)
- United Kingdom (1 case)
All these imported cases are in Kuala Lumpur. They were isolated at the quarantine centre upon arrival at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), and therefore do not present any risk of infection to the local community. The implementation of strict international border control is important to prevent local transmission of the COVID-19 infection originating from overseas.

As of 5 August 2020, 12 pm, a total of 1,647 individuals have been screened in this cluster. Of these:

Two (2) cases (Case 9,021 and Case 9,022) were close contacts (children) to Case 9,000. One of the children had respiratory symptoms on 30 July 2020 but did not seek treatment at any health facility.
The third case (Case 9,023) is a close contact to Case 8,976. The case had fever and respiratory symptoms on 2 August 2020 and received treatment at the Taman Selasih Health Clinic, Kulim.

The public is advised not to spread this fake news as the information is inaccurate. Investigation and active case detection are still ongoing and the current situation will be updated from time to time.
The three (3) additional cases tested positive for COVID-19 on 4 August 2020 and were admitted into Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Kedah for treatment.

- Avoid shaking hands or touching others
- Practice good coughing and sneezing etiquette

In addition to the SOPs, continue to adhere to THiS:
