One quarantine centre is full and two others are nearing capacity, the health director said.

“The Victoria Merdeka cluster involving several shops in the Financial Park Complex, Labuan’s largest mall, and large-group family members contributed to the sudden increase in cases at the quarantine centres,” he said. Ismuni said the low-risk quarantine centre at the Higher Education Technology Division hostel has 79 patients and the centre is reaching its capacity of 92 beds.

This quarantine centre, previously used as a vaccine administration centre was re-opened on May 21, while the one at the BTPN was re-opened two weeks ago.
