Johor official: Interstate travel was main cause of Covid-19 surge

JOHOR BARU, Aug 26 ― The Johor government has identified movement across the state’s borders as the main cause of the spike in Covid-19 cases here.

“The contributing factor to the increase in new cases in Johor is also partly due to the increase in cases that occur throughout the country, especially in states with low vaccine rates,” said Vidyananthan in a statement issued here today. He said yesterday alone there were 10 new clusters reported, namely five industrial clusters, two community clusters and three institutional clusters involving the Johor Baru, Kulai, Kota Tinggi and Kluang districts.
