KUCHING (March 18): Mukah District reverted to a yellow zone from orange status today after recording only 15 Covid-19 cases in the past 14 days, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.

“Song, Serian, Subis, Julau, Betong, Meradong, Kuching, Kapit, Bintulu, Miri and Sibu however remained as red zones with a total of 2,508 local infections in the past 14 days,” the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) chairman said in a press conference here today.

Nine other districts — Marudi, Pakan, Matu, Lawas, Daro, Simunjan , Lubok Antu, Tebedu and Kabong — are classified as green zones.
The Health Ministry categorises a district with no Covid-19 cases as a green zone, and over a two-week period, with one to 20 local transmission cases as yellow, 21 to 40 as orange and 41 and more as red.
On another note, the police have issued two compounds for standard operating procedure (SOP) violations in Sarawak in the last 24 hours, where one was in Kuching and another in Miri.
