"In the past 24 hours, IEDCR has tested 140 samples and two people have been found positive for coronavirus infection. So far, 1,602 people have been tested," IEDCR Director Prof Meerjady Sabrina Flora said at an online press briefing.
Both of the infected people are male, aged 57 and 55 respectively.
"One of the newly-infected is a Saudi Arabia-returnee while we’re still collecting information about another who had no travel history," said Prof Flora.
Meanwhile, she said, six more patients have recovered. "One of the six is aged above 70, four are around 30 and another is aged above 40. Four of the six newly-infected patients are male and the rest are female, including one nurse."
