If you thought yesterday's news of 62 registered COVID-19 cases were bad, well, think again.

Another huge spike in cases

The figure was announced by Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah during his daily press conference.

That now brings the total of cases in the country to 9,559.

Today's spike is the highest number of cases recorded since 4 June, when Malaysia recorded 277 confirmed cases.

According to the Health Ministry, 85 of the cases are locally transmitted.

Sabah itself recorded 62 cases, followed by Kedah with 22 cases.

Selangor recorded nine cases, with Kuala Lumpur registering five cases and Negeri Sembilan one.

Let's pray that the numbers don't continue to increase, because that would be real bad for us.
