PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s Covid-19 daily case figures could dip to below 1,000 by October if the vaccination rate is maintained at 150,000 second doses daily, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general told a press conference on Thursday that based on projections, the drop in cases can be achieved with an estimated vaccine efficacy rate of 75% and with 80% of the population fully vaccinated.

“In our projections, if we administer 100,000 second doses daily with an average 75% vaccine efficacy rate, the number of cases would drop by mid- or late November. Dr Noor Hisham explained that the 75% efficacy rate of vaccine was used in the Health Ministry's projections after taking into account the various levels of efficacy of the five different vaccines under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme portfolio.

He said in June, Labuan reported up to 1,340 new cases a week but now saw just 26 cases reported on Thursday.

Which October?

Locked up until October 😭

October? By then 70% of the business will fold and the rakyat will die of starvation whilst the politicians will be busy hosting and dining

Very possible. Because by that time most are infected or dead. So of coz will be lower.
