Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s daily Covid-19 caseload is expected to remain high for the rest of the month in light of the festive season, said Sabah’s Covid-19 spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.

On Thursday, Sabah’s cases increased to 75 from 66 the day earlier, which tallies with earlier predictions by the Malaysian Health Ministry (MOH).

It also marks an upward trend in the last four days. Seventy-two per cent of infections were sporadic. Masidi said 11 districts recorded a rise compared to eight that recorded a decrease.

“The overall rise and fall of cases are marginal, except for Papar (+5) and Sandakan (-7). No new infections were recorded in 13 districts in the previous 24 hours,” he said.

No deaths or new clusters were identified.
