KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 — Tan Sri Annuar Musa said 36 more coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases were detected in the federal territories yesterday including 27 at the Pavilion Embassy construction site here.

In a Facebook Live session this afternoon, he said that while Covid-19 cases at the national level have shown an encouraging decline, there was still an increase in the federal territories.

"At the KL wholesale market there was one case. There were four in Putrajaya but these were all imported, and there were also four cases from other locations.

"Then, at Pavilion Embassy, there were 27 cases, bringing the total to 36 for Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya,” he said.

The KL wholesale market and its vicinity was previously put under an enhanced movement control order (EMCO) after a Covid-19 cluster was detected.
