KOTA KINABALU (October 2): Residents of Kota Kinabalu, Penampang and Putatan can move freely between the three districts when the inter-district travel restriction is applied from 12:01 am from October 3-16, Sabah Police Commissioner said , Datuk Hazani Ghazali.
“For now, only those living in Kota Kinabalu, Penampang and Putatan can travel within these three areas without any restrictions, while those from other districts cannot enter,” he said.
Hazani said the police and the Health Ministry were still looking for a mechanism to ease the implementation of the inter-district travel restriction.
Following the increase in Covid-19 cases in Sabah, the government has placed four red zone districts under the Specified Enhanced Movement Control Order (Temco) for 14 days. They are Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kunak, and Semporna.
Meanwhile, Penampang Police Chief DSP Haris Ibrahim said that residents of Papar and Kinarut who wish to enter Penampang or Putatan will be asked to return.
He said only those with the proper permits from the authority were allowed in.
“Those who live in Kinarut or Papar but are working in Putatan must provide verification letters from their employer as proof,” he said.
