KUCHING, Sept 7 — The Sarawak government should heed public calls for a total lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the state, the Malaysian Trades Union Congress Sarawak secretary Andrew Lo said today in response to the state accounting for the most new infections yesterday.
“Almost every business can survive a month or two of total lockdown, but most will die a slow and painful death as what is happening right now,” he said. He added that the only sensible move is to announce a complete lockdown and provide wage subsidies for all workers in the private sector. “We hope it should not take more than one month. Otherwise, we will die a slow and painful death,” he said.
