MELAKA: The unprecedented increase of 98 Covid-19 positive cases here are linked to a correctional facility in Jasin, says a state official.
Melaka health and anti-drug committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said the cases were detected on Thursday (Dec 17), with the majority linked to the prison cluster. The situation is under control, he said when asked about the sudden spike in cases in the state.
Melaka has not seen such a high number of cases in a single day since March.
The sharp rise has triggered speculations in social media platforms that this was due to an influx of tourists during last weekend.
