Taking Covid-19 lightly the main reason for high death rate in Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: Taking Covid-19 lightly, not vaccinating against the virus, as well as not responding quickly upon testing positive for Covid-19 are among the main reasons for the high number of Covid-19 related deaths in Sabah.

Having existing illnesses or conditions (comorbidity) prior to contracting Covid-19 was also another factor, said Sabah Health Department director Datuk Dr Rose Nani Mudin.
