Sarawak to impose entry restrictions


Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah.

KUCHING: Sarawak is banning the entry of non-Sarawakians from Sabah and Labuan from Sunday to Oct 18 as the state tightens entry requirements to stop imported Covid-19 cases.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah said this was part of the state’s strategy to protect Sarawak, particularly in view of the high number of cases in neighbouring Sabah.
