Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says this could be why there are 23 new clusters involving individuals who returned from Sabah. FMTNews Covid19
Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says the Covid-19 virus is constantly mutating, hence the need to continue practising SOPs.
He said the Institute for Medical Research had previously detected the mutation in samples taken from the Benteng LD cluster in Sabah, adding that the strain might have come from the Philippines or Indonesia. “The D614G mutation is different from the mutation detected in Kedah, from those who tested positive in the Sivagangga, Tawar and Sungai clusters. It’s different in characteristics,” he said in a press conference today.
“So an individual infected with the mutated virus has the potential to infect others if they do not practise physical distancing, proper hygiene or good sneezing etiquette, and so could infect the public,” he said.
