The country reported 20 new Covid-19 cases today including from another new cluster detected in Kedah.

This came in the wake of the recent emergence of two infection clusters in the northern state since late-July, namely the Sivagangga cluster and the Tawar cluster.

In a statement today, the Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said seven of the 20 new cases were imported, while the remaining 13 were locally transmitted.

One of the local cases is from the newly detected Muda cluster in Kuala Muda, bringing the size of the cluster to two cases so far.
