Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Douglas Uggah Embas told a press conference today that the Miri Covid-19 patient in question was treated as a domestic traveller from Kuala Lumpur upon her arrival in the state, and thus allowed her case to fall through the cracks of standard contact tracing procedures.
Bring a pen with you! It said 23 new Covid-19 cases were also recorded on Wednesday.
The 570th case is a local individual working as project manager at the same construction company as the Indonesian Covid-19 cases 563 and 565 reported on June 18, 2020.
They will have to undergo quarantine at home or at quarantine station for 10 days, subject to risk assessment by a Health Officer.
Individuals must also be fully vaccinated, and their vaccination status will be checked at the airport.
Malaysians whose final destinations have facilities for taking Covid-19 samples would be required to wear a wristband and allowed to return home.
