PETALING JAYA: A 313.3% increase was recorded among Covid-19 clusters at educational institutions in epidemiology week 3. "The increasing number of clusters at educational institutions is very worrying due to the composition of individuals from different backgrounds being together at the same time and place. "The Health Ministry also reminds those experiencing symptoms to undergo Covid-19 screenings before heading to schools or other educational institutions. "The safety and wellbeing of those at educational institutions should be prioritised to reduce and prevent the increase of clusters as well," he said. Perlis, Sarawak and Labuan were the lowest on the chart with a zero infectivity rate recorded.
