BARAM: The downward trend of new Covid-19 cases in Sarawak has not been manipulated as alleged by certain parties, says state Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.

He said certain individuals had made claims on social media that the figures were made up by Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government to substantiate the move to proceed with the much-anticipated 12th Sarawak state election.
