Due to the spike in the number of COVID-19 cases reported in Johor Baru (JB) recently, the state has been declared as a “Red Zone” by the Malaysia officials. In view of the current situation, officials stated that Singapore will not open the border if the spike continues. Officials have also warned of the possibility of another lockdown in JB if the situation continues.
JB has been declared as a “Red Zone” after having more than 40 cases being reported in the last 14 days.
Johor officials warn that JB’s “Red Zone” status isn’t a good thing as it means that it will further delay the progress of border reopening between Singapore and JB which will further affect the state’s economy.
Thus, officials urged JB resident’s to do their part to reduce the number of cases within the sate.
