Covid-19: Five cops in Sabah under home quarantine

CORONAVIRUS | Five policemen, two of them with the rank of inspector, are under quarantine after they were found to have recently dealt with a man who had been infected with Covid-19 at Ranau station.

Sabah police commissioner Zaini Jass said the five policemen had been ordered to undergo health screening at Ranau Hospital two days ago.

“All of them had no positive signs (for Covid-19). However, the doctor ordered all of them to self-quarantine for 14 days," he told reporters in Penampang, near Kota Kinabalu, last night.

Zaini said he was concerned about the safety and health of police officers and personnel working on the ground.

Meanwhile, on the setting up of roadblocks, which also involved members of the armed forces, during the movement control order, Zaini said everything was going smoothly in Sabah.

A total of 466 soldiers are involved in roadblocks mounted in 17 districts in the state, he said, adding that compliance among the public has reached 95 per cent. — Bernama
