Conditions at Sabah quarantine centres remain bad, health director urges patience


KOTA KINABALU: While criticism of Sabah’s quarantine centres persist, state health officials have appealed to those under quarantine to be patient and not to expect the comforts of their homes or hotels.

Amid a firestorm of complaints on social media about conditions at some quarantine centres, Sabah Health Department director Datuk Dr Christina Rundi (pic) said the centres were not built specifically for quarantine purposes and could not be equated to a home or hotel room.
