“The state government truly appreciates the dedication, hard work and sacrifices made by members of the Health Ministry at all levels in the battle against Covid-19 in Sabah.

“I am happy to note that the Covid-19 cases in Sabah have started to stabilise. Many areas in Sabah are no longer red zones,” said Hajiji in a statement today.
