The number of flights to and from Sarawak has been reduced for two weeks in August.

Sarawak MAH chairman Mohd Ibrahim Nordin said the industry had suffered enough since the country was first hit with the virus in March. Last month, the Sarawak disaster management committee had a cut in flights from Aug 1 to Aug 14 because of the spike of Covid-19 cases in the state. “The hotels’ average occupancy levels in Sarawak for 2019 was at 58%. The percentage had dropped to 22% this year and this includes hotels that had been gazetted as quarantine centres. Most hotels that had been used as quarantine centres were running full houses during the mandatory quarantine period,” he told FMT.
