Abstract

In December 2019, a new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and quickly spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has named this disease COVID-19. To date (February 9, 2022), a total of 401,176,571 cases of COVID-19; 5,782,794 cases of deaths, and 320,961,162 recovered cases have been reported worldwide. While there are approximately 83,071 active cases in Malaysia, 32,056 have died so far, and 2,824,071 have recovered. The COVID-19 dataset used was from the open data which covers over a certain period during the year 2020 and 2021. The data comprises of the cumulative number of confirmed, recovered, and fatalities cases. These data were used to determine several important insights, such as how the virus spread in Malaysia? How widespread has the virus been in this country? Does COVID-19 national lockdowns and self-isolation affect COVID-19 transmission in this country?
