More than 100,000 Rohingyas live in Malaysia after fleeing from Myanmar, but they are considered illegal immigrants. Malaysia has 790 coronavirus cases in all. Malaysia implemented travel curbs and shut down non-essential businesses from Wednesday for two weeks to contain the coronavirus after the spike in cases linked to the mosque gathering.
