Press Releases

Press release documents related to COVID-19 with scripts to scrape them are in this new repository. All files are in HTML format.

Official Data

The Ministry of Health Malaysia had published their official data in this repository which contains extensive information about new cases, clusters, daily tests, testing centre, hospitals, ICU capacity, MySejahtera data and more on 21 July 2021. It should act as a replacement of this unofficial dataset so it is recommended to migrate to it. Nevertheless this repository will still be continuously updated for compatibility and historical purposes.

Contributing

You can also look for data that can be added to the archived datasets as well as for TODO. Text-formed data (such as blogs and tables) are recommended. The data released by MoH are usually in the form of images so it need to be extracted manually.

Source

Currently MOH does not provide a platform that provides full comprehensive dataset on the COVID-19 cases in Malaysia as well as the others included in this repository.

Data are retrieved mainly from Desk of DG. While a few data or data on the early stage are retrieved form multiple sources including:

• MOH Facebook Page
• CPRC KKM Telegram Channel
• KKM Portal MyHealth Twitter
• Twitter of DG MOE
• Info Sihat

Full accuracy of the data cannot be guaranteed.

Notes

Please read the notes before using the data or contributing to the data!

• I do not include new cases / deaths in the dataset because it can be calculated easily, this dataset is to only include essential information.
• The 'icu' column represents the current number of patients under the intensive care unit at that date.
• Blank spaces means that the values are not available while dashes means not applicable (roughly).

States case

• The data on 14/3/2020 that provide the increase in cases by states are not consistent with the data given the day before. Ex: MOH provided 105 cases but only 92 cases in the next day. As such, numbers of cases on 13/3/2020 is calculated from the data the day before.
• On 16-18/3/2020, data of WP Kuala Lumpur is combined with WP Putrajaya.

Clusters

• 'increase' means the total clusters which reported increase in cases.
• Data are retrieved starting from 01/12/2020 because it is when MOE started reporting the numbers consistently in the website.

Other

• The 'pending' column represents the current number of pending cases at that date.
• On 10/4/2020 - now, data of PUI cases and close contact cases are combined together.

TODO

• Daily negative cases from MOH

Misc

• Deaths cases - type of chronic diseases of patients
• Cases by states' cities
