Dr David Ling Sien Ngan
SIBU (Sept 5): Parti Sarawak Bersatu’s (PSB) Sibu Development Bureau chief Dr David Ling Sien Ngan continue to urge the people here to continue to be vigilant despite having been immunised against Covid-19.
In a press statement yesterday, he said most people had false sense of security of protection from Covid-19 after being fully vaccinated.
As such, they dared to go out to meet friends, relatives and business associates.
“There has been a recent surge in Covid-19 infection nation-wide. The increase is even more dramatic in Sarawak.
“It has gone from less than a hundred a day to more than 2,000 lately, within just a matter of a few days.
“About two-third of the new infections are the immunised people,” he said.
Dr Ling, who is also a member of the party’s Central Region Taskforce, also said many people did not know the seriousness and risks associated with dine-in at this time.
It has been found out that two-third of new infection has a history of dine-in.
He said wearing mask do give some protection, but once the mask is taken down the air that we breath in might contain Covid-stained vapour.
“I hope the people will pay special attention to and strictly observe the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to protect themselves and others,” he said.
