PETALING JAYA: With Covid-19 cases during Hari Raya dropping almost 60% from the week before, health experts believe that this could be due to people not self-reporting or self-testing.

As most cases were mild and not requiring hospitalisation, they said those who tested positive would not have to seek treatment.

“All cases whether tested negative or positive must be reported on MySejahtera,” he said when contacted yesterday. However, she said this might not be reflected on MySejahtera with people not reporting their status. She added that the hospitalisation rate would show the actual Covid-19 situation in the country.

Prof Moy said a rise in cases was expected with high mobility of people during the Raya break, but projected the highest caseloads to be not more than 10,000. Universiti Putra Malaysia epidemiologist and biostatistician Assoc Prof Dr Malina Osman said although cases would likely rise, the clinical impact would not be significant as most infections were expected to be mild.

Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia president Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh believed that the number of cases last week might have declined due to people not reporting or not self-testing anymore.
