KUCHING: Another full-scale lockdown to curb the rising spread of Covid-19 would have an adverse impact on the nation's economic recovery, says the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sarawak (ACCCIS).

However, the organisation's secretary-general Jonathan Chai said saving lives was also an important consideration should a lockdown be necessary.
