KUCHING (Aug 1): Two longhouses in Sri Aman have sparked one of two new Covid-19 clusters in Sarawak, said the State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) today.
Dubbed the Kandis Pantu Cluster in Sri Aman, the community cluster saw nine individuals screened with six, including the index case, testing positive while three others are still pending lab test results.
The other cluster in Sarawak is a workplace cluster dubbed the 511 Sentosa Cluster in Kuching involving those staying at a hostel of a Wataniah army camp in Kota Sentosa.
“112 individuals from the cluster have been screened with 12 (including the index case) testing positive while 100 tested negative,” said SDMC in its daily update.
