Police road block at Jalan Airport in Kapit recently to ensure SOP compliance among the people.
KAPIT (June 30): Travellers entering and leaving this district would no longer need to produce their Covid-19 RT-PCR swab-test slips when applying for the inter-district travelling permit from the police.
In announcing this, Kapit Division Disaster Management Committee (KDDMC) pointed out that obtaining a police permit prior to undertaking any inter-district or inter-division travel is still a must.
No further information, however, was given by the committee with regard to the non-requirement of the RT-PCR swab-test slip to accompany the application for the police permit.
Previously, the KDDMC enforced a very strict ruling in that every traveller must produce the ‘Borang Perakuan Untuk Memasuki/Keluar Bahagian Kapit’, which included the RT-PCR swab-test slip, from Kapit Health Office to certify that the traveller was free from Covid-19 infection.
Restrictions in force throughout the latest phase of Movement Control Order (MCO) had appeared to help reduce the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases recorded in this division.
On Monday, Kapit Division reported 28 positive cases – 11 cases in Kapit District, 12 in Song District, five in Bukit Mabong District, and no case reported in Belaga.
