Sabah’s Covid-19 cases soar to 3,333 today

KOTA KINABALU – Covid-19 cases continue to surge in Sabah, hitting 3,333 cases today, raising the spectre of the figures that once hit the state after its polls in September 2020.

Sabah Covid-19 spokesman Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun in a Twitter update said today’s caseload is at 3,333, up from yesterday’s 1,264.

“Nearly 52% or 1,075 are symptomatic cases and sporadic infections.”

He added that Kota Kinabalu has 591 cases, followed by Penampang (324), Tuaran (266), Papar (224), Ranau (196) and Tawau (191).

The state, he said, has also logged another three education clusters at SMK Simpangan (Paitan), Beluran’s SMK Bukit Garam 1, and Institut Pengajian Islam dan Dakwah Sabah (Ipdas) in Keningau, respectively.

He advises the public to avoid crowded places. 

Earlier today, various agencies announced the closure of their offices in Penampang and Kota Kinabalu.

Pos Malaysia, for example, announced the closure of its post office here, while the city hall closed the Kota Kinabalu general and fish markets for sanitisation. – The Vibes, February 9, 2022
