KUCHING, July 25 — Some 60 per cent or 56 of the 93 Covid-19 Delta variant cases registered in Sarawak as of July 23 involved patients who have not been vaccinated against the virus, said State Health Director Datuk Dr Mohamed Sapien Mohamed.

“Some 98 per cent of the cases are now at Clinical Stage 1 and 2 where their condition is stable and not in need of oxygen aid. In a Facebook post on July 23, MoH said 92 of the Delta variant cases in Sarawak were local transmissions. “Delta variant cases were detected in several enhanced movement control order localities in Kuching division such as Kampung Astana Lot and Sungai Bedil Besar, Kampung Seratau, Emperoh Nyiru Grait and Kampung Bintawa Hilir.

He said they included staying at home when there is no urgent business, avoid visiting family members, neighbours and friends if there is no important business and always wear face mask and observe physical distancing when in public areas such as eateries and supermarkets.“When at the workplace, at site or attending meetings, always wear a face mask at all times and observe physical distancing including among colleagues.
