Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has revealed a new COVIDNow portal (covidnow.moh.gov.my) which will provide more granular COVID-19 data. The portal will go live today and it will offer more data on top of what is currently shared on Github. The current infographics produced by the Ministry of Health will be replaced with data from the new portal.
In the spirit of transparency, the Ministry of Health will provide clearer details for COVID-19 fatalities including the actual time and date of death, age, vaccination status and comorbidities. The portal also provides more detailed data for active cases such as the number of individuals under home quarantine, in hospital, and in ICU for every state. COVIDNow Portal will be updated daily at midnight.
To address concerns of COVID-19 vaccine side effects, the COVIDNow portal will also provide granular data for Adverse Effects Following Immunisation (AEFI) according to vaccine type. At the moment, this information will be shared via Github. The current daily evening reports from the Health Director-General will still continue for a about week before transitioning to midnight updates.
The COVIDNow portal is now live and you can filter the data for each category by state and duration. It is available in both English and Malay.
