He said the cluster was\u00a0well controlled and was\u00a0expected to be stable in the next two to three days.
\n\u201cThis cluster has 17 cases so far, and\u00a0it is showing a downward trend. We hope the curve will be flattened the next few days,\u201d he told\u00a0Bernama\u00a0today.
\nLabuan, which was about to be declared a green zone following a significant drop in positive cases since February, was\u00a0redesignated\u00a0a red zone on Wednesday\u00a0after\u00a0a\u00a0spike in cases the last few days left the island with 53 active cases as of yesterday.

\n\u201cSub-zone four has recorded the highest COVID-19 daily infectivity rate (Rt). Therefore, those people in this area should\u00a0control their\u00a0movements and continue with the standard operating procedure (SOP) in their daily activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of COVID-19 cases surpassed 40 in a\u00a0span of 14 days, and the redeclaration of red zone was made\u00a0after the emergence of the Pulau Enoe cluster,\u201d he said.
