KOTA KINABALU – Sabah's Disaster Management Committee has 244 vehicles on standby for Covid-19 logistic assistance, said state Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun.
Masidi, who is also the state government's Covid-19 spokesman, said of the total, 63 vehicles are for ferrying Covid-19 patients, while 12 are for delivering food baskets.
“The balance of 169 vehicles are ready to be mobilised when necessary,” he said in a statement today.
