KOTA KINABALU: The latest positive Covid-19 case reported in Sabah involved a student from a local university in the state, said Dr. Christina Rundi, director of Health for Sabah.
She said this case was detected from Covid-19 tests conducted on students based on the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Sabah Student Movement Management managed by the University of Malaysia Sabah (UMS).
“The SOP was prepared for the operation of the special program after the decision to allow students in educational institutions to return to their home districts.
“An estimated 7,000 students will return home. This means that there will be massive movements of students from the red zone to the green and yellow zones, ”he said in a statement today.
Dr. Christina said 1,612 students had been sent back to Peninsular Malaysia, Labuan and Sarawak.
“Another 1,048 students have been sent to their home districts across Sabah,” he added.
On May 11, Sabah reported an increase of 10 new cases, two of which were university students returning from peninsular Malaysia. – Bernama
