KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has appealed to Sabahans to strictly follow the standard operating procedures (SOP) to curb Covid-19 after cases more than doubled to over 1,000 from around 500 in the past month.

Sabah has the lowest vaccination rates at only 76.2% of the total adult population being fully inoculated, according to CovidNow. In contrast, the country’s total adult vaccination rate was at 97.9%.
