With Singapore’s low-cost airline Scoot flying into Sabah in two weeks’ time, tourism players are hoping travel restrictions will be relaxed.
Its director, Dr Nor Azimi Yunus, said 26 Covid-19 positive cases were detected from the wedding, comprising 11 family members and 15 guests. “Instead of a blanket non-travel policy, I urge the authorities to investigate the cases. If the patients had adheed to strict SOPs, would they have contracted the virus?
“However, the scenario looks bleak if this new surge continues at an alarming stage. We may have to support the extension of travel extensions if that happens as the health of the public is most improtant,” he said. He said Sabah tour and travel agents had been battling zero revenue and liquidity problems since the start of the pandemic.“The only way out of this predicament is through vaccination and the opening of interstate travel, as well as the opening of borders between Sabah and its neighbours like Brunei and Sarawak,” he told FMT.
