This is the lowest number of local transmissions in more than two weeks.
The improvement follows the government's decision to tighten measures against Covid-19, including abandoning home quarantine and reimposing isolation at designated quarantine centres beginning July 24.
Noor Hisham said the two new local transmissions today involved a Malaysian who was a Person Under Investigation from the Sivagangga cluster in Kedah as well as a non-citizen in Selangor who was traced back to the Bukit Tiram cluster in Johor. Giving an update on the Bukit Tiram cluster, Noor Hisham said 135 people have been screened to date and 10 were found positive with Covid-19. Another 124 tested negative and one result was pending.
"From the 10 positive cases, four are non-citizens. The positive case reported today is a close contact of Case 8,893 from Johor.
