KOTA KINABALU – Sabah chief minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Md Noor today thanked frontliners and healthcare workers in the state for stabilising the Covid-19 outbreak here.

“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.

Hajiji, who is also Sulaman assemblyman, thanked Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah for his efforts against Covid-19.

The number of new cases in Sabah dropped to 319 cases yesterday after weeks of registering more than 500 daily cases.
