Covid-19: Medical teams in Sabah will focus on west coast areas soon, says Health DG


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry will soon shift its focus to treating Covid-19 cases in Sabah's west coast as the cases along the state's east coast show signs of decreasing.

"Our new challenge is in the west coast involving areas such as Kota Kinabalu, Penampang and Putatan, where there is an upward trend of infections. Hopefully, we will be able to bring down the R0 in the next two weeks," said health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
