Kuala Lumpur, 12 August 2021 - 1.3 million, that is the number of COVID-19 cases Malaysia has recorded thus far. That is potentially 1.3 million instances where the recommended physical distance measures were not adhered to, leading to the transmission of the virus.

“It is important to note that just one simple factor - physical distance, can be the key difference between a report of zero new cases or one of close to 20,000 new cases per day as we are experiencing currently. A simple concept but one many seem unable to practice accurately. This is where our SM4RT TRACE solution comes into play. We have developed the most accurate physical distancing and contact tracing device, called the SDA tag, one which we hope can play a major role in curbing the rising tide of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia,” said SAT.Asia CEO Hafeiz Murshidie Hassan.
