KOTA KINABALU: Analysis on the 30-day cumulative graph for Sabah's Covid-19 daily cases has shown that the state is currently in a flattened curve trend, says Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
The Sabah Covid-19 spokesman said this was despite figures recorded in each district not staying static, as a "yo-yo effect" was expected since the virus is already within the community.
Sabah recorded 705 cases on Friday (Oct 8), a significant drop of 115 cases from the 820 infections recorded the day before.
Masidi said Friday's data also showed that no district recorded triple digit figures, with the state capital registering the highest at 84 new infections.
"As mentioned on Thursday (Oct 7), the ups and downs in case numbers are really influenced by people's attitudes and adherence to the standard operating procedure (SOP).
"Cases where test results are registered late also contributed to where the daily figures stand," he said.
Masidi said Friday's statistics also showed that the main cities in Sabah have generally reported a decline in cases, except for Tawau, which saw an increase of 10 cases to 32 new infections.
He added that from the cases recorded on Friday, 90.92% are in Category 1 and 2.
