KUCHING: The number of flights into Sarawak has been reduced effective Friday (Jan 15) in view of the rising Covid-19 cases in the state.

State Transport Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin said the state disaster management committee decided to reduce the flight frequency after considering requests from its divisional committees, the limited number of hotel rooms available for quarantine purposes, and the sudden spike in Covid-19 cases.
