The four sub-clusters are: 

1. A madrasah in Jerantut, Pahang, with 62 confirmed positive cases; 20 cured
2. A madrasah in Penanti, Penang, with six positive cases; four recovered
3. A madrasah in Sungai Lui, Hulu Langat, Selangor, with 90 positive cases; 67 recovered
4. A madrasah in Jasin, Melaka, with 37 positive cases; one recovered 

There were three deaths reported...

Some quarters, like JP Morgan and Malaysian Institute of Economic Research, had previously predicted that Malaysia's Covid-19 infections would only peak by mid-April.

The daily recoveries figure exceeds the new cases for the fourth time this month. There are 118 new confirmed cases, an increase from 106 yesterday.

These sectors will be determined by a special cabinet committee that will be chaired by the senior minister of international trade and industry, and the senior defence minister.

In a statement, the mall and entertainment operator said it will be a full base rental waiver and that it is done to support the long-term business sustainability of its tenants.

This is the second extension to the MCO, which was originally imposed for a two-week period from March 18 to March 31, but then extended to April 14.

This means that the red zones have expanded further in the Klang Valley, where there are now 11 health districts with more than 40 confirmed Covid-19 positive cases.
