Fearing for families’ safety, Sabahan students opt for quarantine centre instead of home

KOTA KINABALU: Some of the 7,000 Sabahan students returning from Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak have volunteered to undergo quarantine at the designated centres to avoid any risk of exposing their families to the Covid-19 virus.

Sabah Health Department director Datuk Christina Rundi (pic) said the students were aware of the possible risks they posed and voluntarily wanted to stay at the centres instead of going back to their hometowns.
