Always wear face mask, avoid crowded area, constantly wash hands with soap or sanitizer, avoid big gathering, and always practise social distancing. Please love your family and keep them safe from COVID-19.

As there is a surge of COVID19 in Sarawak, SDMC had announced that no public gathering or celebration is allowed.

Play your part as a responsible person and fight covid together. Together we care!
