Rep fears spread of Covid-19 among Penans after woman dies in Telang Usan

MIRI, June 14 — Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau has confirmed that the 54-year-old woman who died of Covid-19 in Miri as reported yesterday was a Penan woman from one of the 88 villages in his constituency.

“Some 30 Penans from Long Win for instance, were taken down for swab tests last week and I was informed that over 20 were tested positive. “I was made to understand there were some close contacts who ran away from the village and hid in the jungle to avoid from being taken down to Miri for mandatory quarantine at the designated centres.

“We cannot expect the government to go from one village to another to lock us down. We can start practice self-lockdown by staying put in our respective houses,” he said.
