Eight districts in Sarawak won't enter NRP Phase Three yet due to high Covid-19 cases


KUCHING: Eight districts in Sarawak's southern zone will not be moved into Phase Three of the National Recovery Plan on Wednesday (Aug 4) along with the rest of the state as their Covid-19 cases are still high, says the state disaster management committee.

It said the implementation of Phase Three would be deferred in Kuching, Bau, Lundu, Samarahan, Simunjan, Asajaya, Serian and Tebedu until the spread of the virus had declined to a satisfactory level.
