Khairy: High number of Covid-19 deaths at highly vaccinated areas due to backlog of reports


KOTA KINABALU: The large number of Covid-19 deaths in highly vaccinated areas like the Klang Valley and Sarawak are due to a backlog in death reports, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic).

However, the number can be expected to go down in the next two or three weeks, he told a press conference after the Sabah state-level Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) meeting here on Monday (Sept 6).
