COVID-19 Hot Spot Areas In KL : Hoax Debunked!
The map of COVID-19 hot spot areas in KL claims to be based on the MySejahtera app.
However, it is FALSE and here are the reasons why…
Reason #1 : KKM Confirms It’s False
The Malaysia Ministry of Health (KKM) confirmed that this map is false.
Reason #2 : MySejahtera Does Not Show Cases For Specific Locations
The MySejahtera app allows you to look up specific locations, but it will NOT show the case numbers for any specific location.
So it is not possible for anyone to use MySejahtera to find out that Low Yat Plaza has 1027 cases, for example.
Reason #3 : MySejahtera Shows Cases In 1 KM Radius In Past 14 Days
The MySejahtera Hot Spot tracker feature only lists the number of reported COVID-19 cases within a 1 km radius in the last 14 days.
In other words, it shows you how many COVID-19 cases were reported within a 3.14 square kilometre area over the past 14 days.
If you try it out now, you can search for Pavilion KL, and it will say,
There have been 805 reported case(s) of COVID-19 within a 1 km radius from your searched location in the last 14 days.
