“(This translates to a) 5.16% positivity rate. Let’s pray this trend continues as we focus on symptomatic testing and quick self-isolation,” he tweeted on Tuesday (Oct 5).

In response, Dr Noor Hisham said he believes that there were many more negative results from self-testing not reported to the system.

“Therefore, it’s possible the denominator could be larger and the positive rate lower,” he said.
