KUALA LUMPUR - Sarawak, once considered one of the states that had managed the Covid-19 outbreak well, has been shattering records in infections amid Malaysia s recent spike.
The East Malaysian state was long regarded as a model in managing the pandemic. It has had a rigorous testing regimen and mandatory quarantine imposed on people who arrived in the state from all other parts of Malaysia since last year.
At the end of 2020, Sarawak had recorded only 1,117 Covid-19 infections and 19 deaths, around 1 per cent of Malaysia s total infections, which stood at 113,010 on Dec 31.
Even when most of Malaysia entered a movement control order (MCO) in January - a strict partial lockdown - Sarawak, whose response to the pandemic has been largely driven by the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC), was one of the few states that was not placed under it.
