In the meantime, MITI explained the issue of configuring the company's application system called the COVID-19 Intelligent Management System (CIMS) 2.0 is currently being refined and upgraded.

"This effort is being done together with CyberSecurity Malaysia and several ICT industry specialists from the private sector," it said, adding that the application system is expected to resume operation at 3 pm today.

However, the application could still be made on the application.miti.gov.my website, it said.
