COVID-19 | The government’s MySejahtera app only highlights certain locations as hotspots if there is a potential that they could be a source of Covid-19 transmission, said Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

His explanation came as netizens questioned why certain locations reported as having been visited by Covid-19 patients were not included in MySejahtera’s hotspot tracking feature.
