KUCHING (Dec 17): Sarawak’s four-day streak of zero Covid-19 cases ended today, after nine new cases were detected, bringing the total number of infections in the state to 1,084 cases.
Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC), in its daily update statement, said eight of these new cases were classified as imported cases, while the remaining case was a local transmission.
“Of these nine new cases, six were detected in Sibu, two in Kuching and one in Sri Aman,” announced SDMC.
The local transmission case was detected in Sibu after a local man underwent a Covid-19 test swab to return to work in Papua New Guinea. He tested positive for the virus on Dec 16 — the same day he underwent the test.
The case is currently asymptomatic and has been placed in the isolation ward of Sibu Hospital for further treatment.
