However, state spokesman Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun did not reveal details on the backlogs but said they were only registered in the past 24 hours.

Districts with the highest number of infections and likely where the backlogs are coming from are: Kota Kinabalu, 1,241 cases; Papar, 370 cases; Penampang, 345 cases and; Putatan, 353 cases.
