KUCHING (Dec 28): An operation codenamed Ops Jala will be launched in Sarawak in a few days’ time to check illegal entry and prevent illegal immigrants from bringing in Covid-19 infection.
"The number of positive Covid-19 cases resulting from illegal immigrants is still a big threat that needs to be addressed," said Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas (pictured).
Sarawak had gone through several bitter experiences with illegals including four immigrants who ran away from Sibu and two others in Asajaya who fled after being found positive for the infection, he told a press conference here today.
