Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s new daily Covid-19 cases dropped below the 200 mark on Monday, with 194 reported, a drop of 51 cases compared to Sunday’s 245.
Sabah’s Covid-19 spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said Monday’s below 200 cases was the first since Jan 24.
He said Kota Kinabalu, which recorded an increase of 61 cases on Sunday, dropped 42 cases on Monday with only 55 new infections.
He noted that the drop in the number of new cases in Kota Kinabalu is one of the main factors contributing to the lower number of cases for Sabah on Monday.

Eighteen districts recorded single-digit cases, while Semporna, Nabawan, Tongod and Kalabakan districts did not record any new infections.
