Minister for Local government and Housing, Dato Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian send his lost condolences to the family of the newly diagnosed COVID-19 who passed away on same day of diagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Sim said he was sad to have 2 new positive cases today, one imported and one local transmission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called to Sarawakian to be on high alert and be serious to follow the SOP otherwise, there will be a 2nd wave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case 576, local transmission, a pensioner from Foochow Road was potentially exposed at Stutong market and was refer by private hospital outpatient but unfortunately died on the day COVID-19 is diagnosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Let me repeat the 3 T\u2019s – Trace, Test, Treat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trace – please help the authority to trace faster by download the tracing apps Qmunity, COVID Trace or MySejatera. These not only convenience you for not writing down your name but more importantly alert you that someone that you have been around is positive! Immediately go to the Klinik Kesihatan or COVID-19 Hospital if alerted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Test – in Sarawak, JKNS and UNIMAS have build up significant capacity (more than 10 PCR machines, manpower, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri) since March for testing. We have capacity to do minimum 2,500 test per day. Was told in SGH, only 100 samples are sent per day. Glad to hear that DHO and JKNS didn\u2019t limit the number of PCR test from each of the 5 KK in Kuching. Anyone who has come into contact with the recent 3 local transmission in the last 14 days, pls don\u2019t wait for Hospital to call you, please go for testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treat – early treatment (SGH and Visiting Chinese Medical experts) is the key of avoiding death, ” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case 577, Dr. Sim added was imported from UK, a Sarawakian coming home, KLIA with AG Rapid Test Kit negative but Sarawak policy with quarantine in hotel and PCR swab positive. There are 6 similar cases in total for the last 2 weeks that we are successfully prevented spreading in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called all not to be discouraged, angry, stigmatised, blaming, minimising, arm chair critics, but rather be positive, solidarity, systematic review to see what went wrong and how to improve our actions and policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Sim said they had managed to flatten the 1st wave earlier and need Sarawak solidarity and united War\u2019s Effort to prevent the 2nd wave in Sarawak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
