Tawau district recorded the highest number at 63 cases, followed by Sandakan (14) and Lahad Datu (10). A total of 49 cases out of the total new cases were detected from close contact screening.
Sandakan and Tuaran districts, which were classified as yellow zones (1-20 active cases) yesterday, have turned orange (21-40 active cases) today.
