GEORGE TOWN, May 25 — Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has called on everyone in Penang to practise “self lockdown” as the state continues to record a high number of Covid-19 cases.
He said the manufacturing sector in Penang has the highest number of clusters with two new ones recorded yesterday.
“Even though the R-naught (R-t) for Penang as of May 23 is the lowest in the country at 1.06, the number of cases since last week has remained high,” he said in a statement issued today.
