“Bagi penerbangan Air Asia AK5742 pada 1hb Mei 2020 ada 156 orang penumpang semuanya dan empat didapati positif dan selebihnya 152 kita minta tampil untuk menjalani saringan kesihatan yang kedua termasuk 8 pelajar dan 144 orang awam. Mereka semua ini ada di Tawau, Kunak, Semporna dan Lahad Datu,” katanya di sini hari ini.
Bagi penerbangan kedua pula pada 4hb Mei 2020 melalui pesawat Air Asia AK5740 yang membawa 246 penumpang, dua daripadanya turut didapati positif COVID-19.
“Daripada jumlah itu seramai 64 adalah pelajar universiti dan 160 adalah orang awam dan melalui data mereka juga berada di Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kunak dan juga Semporna. Jadi melalui kedua-dua penerbangan ini enam didapati positif termasuk seorang kanak-kanak perempuan berumur dua tahun,” katanya lagi.
Menurut Dr. Suzalinna, sehingga tengah hari Rabu pihaknya telah menjalankan ujian saringan kesihatan kepada 31 orang awam dan 8 pelajar universiti yang tampil dan merupakan penumpang kepada kedua-dua penerbangan tersebut.
“Kita mengharapkan kerjasama daripada jumlah kesemua 396 penumpang tersebut supaya segera tampil menjalani ujian saringan kesihatan yang kedua memandangkan laporan yang diterima bagi kedua-dua penerbangan tersebut tidak mengamalkan penjarakan sosial dan itu akan menyebabkan risiko jangkitan yang amat tinggi walaupun mereka memakai pelitup,” katanya lagi.
Untuk rekod sehingga Selasa, negeri Sabah telah mencatatkan satu kes baharu menjadikan jumlah kumulatif kepada 328 kes, manakala 293 kes telah sembuh dan 31 kes lagi masih menerima rawatan di wad isolasi di hospital sekitar negeri ini. – ASTRO AWANI

KUALA LUMPUR (May 14): AmInvestment Bank research has downgraded the transportation & logistics sector to “Underweight” and said it has become increasingly clear that the damage inflicted by the Covid-19 pandemic to the sector is no mere dent but destruction of varying degrees to different segments.

In a sector update today, the research house projected container throughput to contract by 15% at Westports Holdings Bhd (Hold, RM3.81) and 10% at ports of MMC Corporation Bhd (Buy, RM1.13) in FY2020F.

“We also project passenger volume for AirAsia Group Bhd (Sell, 43 sen) to shrink by 35% year-on-year in FY20F, followed by a 25% rebound in FY21F from a low base (assuming that by then the pandemic will have been significantly contained or vaccines will have been made available).

“We are expecting Pos Malaysia Bhd’s mail volume to drop by 35% in FY20F (versus a contraction in the teens in FY19 based on our estimates),” it said.

AmInvestment said its top pick within the sector is MMC Corp.

“While we are mindful of the soft patch ahead amidst a major slump in the world economy as well as world trade in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, we believe the recent selldown on MMC Corp has been overdone,” it said.

This virus may never go away," WHO says
GENEVA (May 14): The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 could become endemic like HIV, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday, warning against any attempt to predict how long it would keep circulating and calling for a "massive effort" to counter it.
"It is important to put this on the table: this virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities, and this virus may never go away," WHO emergencies expert Mike Ryan told an online briefing.
"I think it is important we are realistic and I don't think anyone can predict when this disease will disappear," he added. "I think there are no promises in this and there are no dates. This disease may settle into a long problem, or it may not be."
However, he said the world had some control over how it coped with the disease, although this would take a "massive effort" even if a vaccine was found -- a prospect he described as a "massive moonshot".
More than 100 potential vaccines are being developed, including several in clinical trials, but experts have underscored the difficulties of finding vaccines that are effective against coronaviruses.
Ryan noted that vaccines exist for other illnesses, such as measles, that have not been eliminated.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus added: "The trajectory is in our hands, and it's everybody's business, and we should all contribute to stop this pandemic."
Ryan said "very significant control" of the virus was required in order to lower the assessment of risk, which he said remained high at the "national, regional and global levels".
Governments around the world are struggling with the question of how to reopen their economies while still containing the virus, which has infected almost 4.3 million people, according to a Reuters tally, and led to over 291,000 deaths.
The European Union pushed on Wednesday for a gradual reopening of borders within the bloc that have been shut by the pandemic, saying it was not too late to salvage some of the summer tourist season while still keeping people safe.
But public health experts say extreme caution is needed to avoid new outbreaks. Ryan said opening land borders was less risky than easing air travel, which was a "different challenge".
"We need to get into the mindset that it is going to take some time to come out of this pandemic," WHO epidemiologist Maria van Kerkhove told the briefing.

U.S. Big Pharma Pfizer and German biotech partner BioNTech are looking to ramp up trials of vaccines against COVID-19 with a major scaled-up test plotted for the fall.

This is according to Pfizer’s CEO and chair Albert Bourla, talking to CNBC. Pfizer penned a deal with messenger RNA biotech BioNTech a few weeks back for them to work on a COVID-19 vaccine using new mRNA tech.

The partners currently have early clinical tests ongoing in Germany and the U.S., with the latter in around 360 participants, all across four vaccine candidates. Three of these candidates contain uridine-containing mRNA or nucleoside-modified mRNA, while a fourth vaccine candidate contains self-amplifying mRNA.
“We are collecting data as we speak in real time so we know, we are monitoring the safety of the doses,” with data on which vaccine variation stands out expected in June or July, Bourla said.

If one or two variations indicate success, the company will ramp up trials and then in September launch a major study with thousands of trial participants if a vaccine proves to be successful, he added.

“If things go well, and we feel that the product is safe and efficacious, and the FDA and EMA and other regulatory agencies feel the same, we will be able to deliver millions of doses in the October time frame,” Bourla said.
The plan is to produce hundreds of millions of doses of the vaccine by next year. The use of mRNA has not been approved in vaccines before but has been a front-runner in the race of more than 100 vaccine candidates to get to market.

Pfizer and BioNTech are racing rivals CureVac and Moderna to develop and manufacture, at scale, a COVID-19 vaccine derived from an mRNA platform. This week, Moderna nabbed an FDA fast-track tag for its vaccine candidate and is plotting a phase 3 test in the next three months.

AirAsia Group Berhad - 1QFY20 Operating Statistics


Date: 28/04/2020


Source : PUBLIC BANK
Stock : AIRASIA Price Target : 0.78 | Price Call : HOLD
Last Price : 0.735 | Upside/Downside : +0.045 (6.12%)

Back



AirAsia announced its 1QFY20 operating statistics, with passenger volume for the consolidated AOC operations (Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines) falling by 21% YoY to 9.9m pax. This is in line with the reduction in its capacity as available seat km (ASK) contracted 19% YoY. Passenger load for the consolidated AOCs declined by 10 ppts to 78%. Meanwhile, operations in Thailand (TAA), India (AAI) and Japan (AAJ) reported load factors of 84%, 81% and 72% respectively. Group wide, proactive capacity management was done particularly in the months of February and March, with the cuts most notable in the Malaysian (MAA) and Thailand (TAA) units due to travel restrictions from the Covid-19 pandemic. 1QFY20 results and passenger yield data is expected to be released in one month’s time. To recap, AirAsia had announced a temporary fleet hibernation across its AOCs in view of the Covid-19 pandemic which caused large-scale border restrictions in many countries at the end of 1Q2020. We remain cautious on its earnings outlook for the year, hence maintaining our Neutral call on AirAsia with unchanged target price of RM0.78 pegged to 1x of FY20F BVPS.
•1QFY20 statistics. AirAsia’s consolidated operations reported a decline in passengers carried by 21% YoY to 9.9m pax, as it cut capacity by 19% YoY to ASK of 14.4bn. This resulted in its passenger load dropping by 10 ppts to 77.9%. This was slightly below our expectations, accounting for 24% and 22% of our forecasts respectively (Table 1). During the quarter, the MAA unit reduced its capacity by 17% YoY, as operations were heavily interrupted in light of the increased in Covid-19 cases and imposition of the Movement Control Order that began on 18 March 2020. Meanwhile, the Indonesian (IAA) unit posted a 10% YoY increase in capacity for the quarter, as it re deployed excess capacity from international to domestic sectors. Passengers carried fell by 7% however as travel demand in the region started to weaken. Its Philippines (PAA) unit also flew fewer number of passengers of 1.8m pax (-9% YoY) in comparison to the same quarter last year, as domestic and international routes were halted beginning mid-March 2020.
•Associates’ performance. The Thailand (TAA) unit continues to report healthy load factor at 84% despite lower passenger volume of 4.5m pax (- 23% YoY) in 1QFY20. This was on the back of a 17% capacity reduction after flight frequencies were cut, as well as from the suspension on international routes amid increasing travel restrictions and redeployment of excess capacity to domestic sectors. Meanwhile, its Indian (AAI) unit reported steady passenger load at 81% amid travel concerns, with the Japan (AAJ) unit showing softer passenger load at 72%. (Table 2-4)
