ALARMING: Total Cases crossed the 90,000 mark today at 7:00 pm with 1,869 New Cases reported across ASEAN in the past 24 hours. Indonesia has reported 700 New Cases – the highest ever number of New Cases for the country. Worryingly, the death toll in the country continues to rise with 40 New Deaths today, slightly lower than yesterday’s tally but still of grave concern as the archipelagic country now has 1,613 Total Deaths – the highest in ASEAN. The Philippines moves into second spot today with 590 New Cases reported last night. According to local media reports, out of the New Cases, 252 are considered “fresh”, or from within the past 3 days, while 338 are considered “late”, or from four days ago or earlier. Thankfully, the number of New Deaths in the ASEAN member state has dropped to 8 (21 yesterday). Singapore has reported 518 New Cases today, slightly up from yesterday, placing the island state in third spot as a result of new infections in the migrant worker clusters. Malaysia’s New Cases have also risen today to 57, almost doubling yesterday’s total of 30 as the country enters the last week of its current movement control order. Thailand is the only other ASEAN member state to report New Cases today (4). All other member states have no New Cases to report today. Total Deaths now stand at 2,766 with 48 New Deaths today. On a positive note, there are now over 41,000 Recoveries across ASEAN today – roughly 46% of all infections since the beginning of the pandemic.
