PETALING JAYA - Malaysia had the highest Covid-19 reproduction number of 1.57 on Sept 15 among six other countries in the region, according to a disease modelling centre based in Britain.
The centre, which is located at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, claims to be a multidisciplinary grouping of epidemiologists, mathematicians, economists, statisticians and clinicians. "An R number of between 1.1 and 1.4 means that on an average, every 10 people infected will infect between 11 and 14 other people," it said, pointing out that there was widespread growth of the epidemic across the country.
The virus will spread faster in densely populated cities with public transportation as a main method of commuting. "Other indicators include the country's capacity to cope with the disease, and the trend in the number of new cases and discharged individuals in comparison with the number of new infections," he said.
