KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia’s Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday ordered a review of regulations on social and sports activities, seeking stricter curbs amid a fresh spike in coronavirus cases in the Southeast Asian nation.
In a Facebook post, Muhyiddin said the matter will be discussed by the national security council on Tuesday, and that a decision would hopefully be made immediately.
Malaysia reported 834 new coronavirus cases on Monday, taking the total to 33,339 infections.
