Kota Kinabalu: Sabah recorded a "stiff increase" in new cases at 342 today partly due to new boarding school clusters, said spokesman for the crisis Datuk Masidi Manjun.

"Another day of high numbers, third in a row," Masidi announced on Twitter.

"Today is 342 cases, yesterday 335 and Tuesday 314 cases.

"The stiff increase in new cases is partly due to the emergence of new clusters mostly in school hostels."

336 of the new cases today were asymptomatic or mild infections.
