KUCHING: Additional standard operating procedures (SOP) for the conditional movement control order in five divisions in Sarawak will come into force on Wednesday (April 21), says Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah.
The Deputy Chief Minister said the new guidelines were recommended by Kuching, Betong, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri divisions as a "circuit breaker" to manage the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The state disaster management committee has accepted their recommendations. The updated SOP will be available on the National Security Council's website," he said at the committee's Covid-19 briefing here on Tuesday (April 20).
This comes as Sarawak reported 600 new cases on Tuesday, topping the nation's list for the second day in a row.
