Covid-19: No human rights, fundamental liberties infringed over fully-vaccinated requirement, says Sarawak


KUCHING: Sarawak's policy to only allow fully-vaccinated individuals to enter or work in business premises in the state does not contravene human rights or fundamental liberties enshrined in the Federal Constitution, says the state disaster management committee.

It also said the policy was a temporary measure to curb the spread of Covid-19 in Sarawak as daily cases had spiked to more than 1,500 and the death toll reached 510 in recent weeks.
