The academics say they accurately predicted 2 weeks ago that the number of active cases would pass 10,000 on Oct 27 or 28, and were proven right. FMTNews Covid19

The researchers from USM feel mass testing was the way forward to detect and isolate those patients showing no symptoms.

They said as the country hit five-digit active cases yesterday, the rise in the number of deaths was imminent, and this development would likely stretch the healthcare system to its limits. “Our research findings are not to undermine the efforts of the health ministry and frontliners but merely to urge authorities to carry out more testing to fight the virus in a more objective way,” he said.

USM’s Hafiz, along with fellow mathematicians Noor Atinah Ahmad Dr Kamarul Imran Musa and Mohammad Subhi Jamiluddin, had come up with a comprehensive dossier warning about the rise in active Covid-19 cases. The team said it accurately predicted 14 days in advance that the number of active cases would pass 10,000 on Oct 27 or 28.
