PUTRAJAYA, Dec 2 — The Ministry of Health (MoH) is considering whether to mobilise its personnel and frontliners in Sabah back to Peninsular Malaysia, as the number of Covid-19 positive cases in the latter region continue to rise.

Its director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said there has been a request from Selangor and Negri Sembilan to bring back its staff who were sent to Sabah, so they can assist in case detection and risk evaluation back home.

“We will give it thought, as the number of Covid-19 cases in Sabah is now beginning to decline,” he said in his press conference.
