Masidi: Sabah's high R0 because of clusters, not variants

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's sudden spike in cases is due to many clusters and has nothing to do with any variant of concern (VOC), says state Covid-19 spokesman Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.

"For Sabah, it’s the normal Covid-19 strain but there are just too many clusters," Masidi said on Wednesday (July 21) when commenting on the high infectivity rate in Sabah that saw its R0 recorded at 1.25.
