Malaysia has recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Southeast Asia with more than 35% of new COVID-19 cases linked to the Sri Petaling gathering, a Moslem missionary movement attended by more than 19 000 people of different nationalities, in March 2020 in Kuala Lumpur. From this cluster, 1701 samples have been tested positive out of 21 920 tests carried out. Thus, mass gathering during COVID-19 pandemic period should be banned to curb disease transmission.
马来西亚记录了东南亚 COVID-19 病例的最高数字,超过 35%的新增 COVID-19 病例与 2020 年 3 月在吉隆坡举行的斯里 Petaling 集会有关,这是一个穆斯林传教运动,有来自不同国家的 19000 多人参加。从这个集群中,在进行的 21920 次检测中,有 1701 个样本检测呈阳性。因此,在 COVID-19 大流行期间,应该禁止大规模集会以遏制疾病传播。
