Two more new polio cases confirmed in Sabah


PETALING JAYA: Two more children in Sabah have been confirmed to be infected with polio with genetic connection to cases in the Philippines, according to the Health Ministry.

They were discovered to be infected during the Health Ministry’s surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), which was conducted after a three-month-old Malaysian boy from Tuaran was found to have polio last December.
