Malaysia reported a daily jump of 125 cases to 553, nearly two-thirds of them linked to an Islamic gathering attended by 16,000 people, including 1,500 from other countries. Schools and universities will be shut; so will government and private business except for those providing essential services, Muhyiddin said. Foreigners will not be allowed into the country and citizens will not be allowed to leave.
So far, 338 of Malaysia’s cases have been linked to the religious gathering at a mosque in Kuala Lumpur between Feb. 28 and March 1.
