Shortly after, the country saw a spike in confirmed coronavirus cases following a mass gathering of Islamic missionaries and followers attended by 16,000 people, most of whom were residents of Malaysia. As of July 18, Malaysia had more than 8,000 confirmed cases, tens of thousands behind its neighbor countries, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.
