The number of new positive COVID-19 cases in Malaysia has risen back to three digits at 110, but it was still lower than the number of recoveries.  

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (picture) said the new cases reported as at noon today brought the cumulative total in the country to 5,182 cases.

However, the number of patients who have recovered and were discharged today continued to show a positive trend at 119, which was more than the new cases, he said.

Yesterday, the number of new cases reported was 85, the first time it dipped below 100 since the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) on March 18.
