SDMC said the Bintulu night market has been listed in HIDE today.
KUCHING (Aug 5): Another commercial premise in Sarawak has been listed in the Health Ministry’s Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) system today, said the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC).
The committee in a statement said the night market under Bintulu Development Authority (BDA) has been listed in the HIDE system, making it the 273rd premise in Sarawak to be listed in HIDE.
HIDE premises and locations are said to have the potential to turn into clusters if no pre-emptive actions are taken.
If no hotspots emerge in the premises after the implementation of pre-emptive actions, these premises will be removed from the HIDE list within a period of seven days after their listing.
Meanwhile, SDMC revealed that police have issued 35 standard operating procedure (SOP) violation compounds in the past 24 hours.

One compound was also issued to an individual who did no comply with quarantine rules after removing his or he quarantine bracelet without permission.
SDMC said this brought the cumulative number of compounds issued by the police in Sarawak since March 18 last year to 9,710.

Two were issued by the BDA and two by the Bau District Council.
Out of the four compounds, two were for business premises operating outside of the permitted time and two for not completing the customer attendance logbook.
