Records backlog cause of high death figures

KOTA KINABALU: The backlog in recording Covid-19 deaths are contributing to the daily numbers of fatalities in areas with high vaccination rates, such as the Klang Valley and Sarawak, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

However, these numbers can be expected to reduce over the next two or three weeks, he said at the press conference after the Sabah state-level Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force meeting here yesterday.
