Kota Kinabalu: Schools that have identified at least two Covid-19-positive persons involving one internal transmission must close for seven days with immediate effect, said Sabah’s Covid-19 spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
He said this was decided by the State Covid-19 Disaster Management Committee and that the State Health Department must verify that the positive cases involve students, teachers and staff of the school.
“Only students facing major examinations are allowed to return to the hostel to continue their learning sessions on Feb 7,” said Masidi in a statement tonight.
Sabah’s caseload nearly hit four digits as cases doubled from 476 to 909 today, while another four school clusters were detected which had 135 infections combined.
