Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, also reminded that the rise is due to the Omicron wave within the country but fortunately, it shows symptoms less severe than that of the Delta variant.
Our cases will also rise sharply in the next few weeks. This is the highly transmissible Omicron wave. So far, severity is far lower than Delta. Stay vigilant. Get boosted. #TRIIS
