Despite the rising numbers, a family of seven who were all tested positive for COVID-19 are keeping their spirits up by playing games and even making Tik Tok videos while being quarantined at the hospital.
The eldest of the siblings 17-year-old Erika Syamim said the siblings created Tik Tok videos to cheer themselves up and also to show other family members that they were doing fine.

Erika said that her father was a frontliner at the Teluk Intan Hospital and started showing symptoms first.
"He was coughing badly, found it hard to breathe and had fever and so he got himself tested," she said via posts on Twitter.
The whole family then got tested and were all confirmed to be positive.
All seven are coping well
"We are doing fine so far," said a rather reserved Erika when speaking to Rojak Daily via Twitter.
She added that the whole family was being quarantined together and had nothing much to do but to wait it out.
"We actually feel really bad for the other patients. At least we get to be together," she said, adding that they also prayed at the hospital as a family.
As for the Tik Tok video which went viral, Erika said that the family hardly posted their antics online.
Here's another adorable Tik Tok by some of the siblings.
