Dr. Annuar gives a breakdown of the growing number of cases in the Sibu Division.
SIBU (Feb 24): The Sibu Division Disaster Management Committee (SDDMC) proposes a possible closure in the Tiong Hua Zone and Sentosa Zone to address the growing number of Covid-19 cases there, according to the coordinator from the SDDMC, Dr. Annuar Rapaee.
He said that SDDMC would hold a meeting tonight and an announcement would be made tomorrow.
“I will have a meeting with the resident and the rest of the committee tonight and we will develop a proposal. An announcement will be made tomorrow, ”he said during his daily Facebook livestream on the Covid-19 situation updates in Sibu today.
He said that of the 181 positive cases reported in Sibu today, 85 were reported in the Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) area, 50 cases in Sibu Jaya and 46 cases reported in the Sibu Rural District Area (SRDC).
Dr. Annuar, who is also an assemblyman from Nangka, said that in the SMC area, Tiong Hua Zone and Sentosa Zone reported 19 cases each.
Other locations in the SMC area that showed an increase in the number of cases include Farley Zone, with nine cases, and Kiew Nang, with seven cases.
In the case of Sibujaya, only 38 cases were detected in the apartment that is currently under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO), while Town Villa registered six cases and the rest are scattered throughout the resident areas and centers commercial.
For the SRDC area, Bawang Assan recorded 34 cases from a longhouse today, with three cases in Pasai, two cases in Durin, four cases in KJD / Assan, and three cases in Batang Igan.
He said there are many reasons why the number of cases was high, and one of them was the large amount of testing that was being done.
“At Sibu we work very hard to make sure all cases can be detected, we don’t want one to be left out,” he said.
On the vaccine, meanwhile, he said he urged all leaders to lead by example by accepting the Covid-19 vaccine as a sign of encouragement to the public.
He said the vaccine was the only solution in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We have no other way to fight, we have to make sure it doesn’t spread, and make sure hospitals can cope and the only way we can really make sure of that is through the vaccine,” he said.
He said there was still a lot of confusion and fear regarding the safety of the vaccine. He said that although the vaccine was produced faster compared to other vaccines in the past, there were no cuts.
“The concept or technology behind the vaccine was around a long time ago. Normally, if we need to get a vaccine, we need cases, right now, there are cases everywhere, so there is no difficulty in trying to get cases.
“In addition, the company that produced these vaccines received assistance from their respective government and the advancement of technology also made this possible,” he said.
He said the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which arrived in the state today, is the same vaccine that the United States and United Kingdom governments had started distributing earlier this year.
