Covid19.Place is an independently run Malaysian website that gathers data from Covid 19 data from all over the world and puts it in a nice and easy to digest layout.
Previously we featured the website when it added the water level alert feature as a response to the devastating floods that hit the country.
It provided useful life-saving information for Malaysians all over the country.

In a new post today, while announcing the country’s five-digit daily Covid19 case in a Twitter post, the administrators of the site announced that they were 691USD short of the amount that they needed to keep the site running and asked the public for help.
The post includes a CIMB account to which you can donate.
Please note that our server has been suspended due to non-payment. We have received many donations and we are short of USD691 to make the server payment. 🙏 Thank you for your kind support 🙏Name: IAM Solution • Acc No: 860-480-1483 • Bank: CIMB Bank Berhad (Malaysia) pic.twitter.com/CaOfPpE2qt
