The Sandakan Municipal Council also advises residents to practise social distancing. Only five customers are allowed near counters at any one time.

Sabah will also close inter-district public jetties starting today (Sunday) until March 31 to curb the spread of the virus.

The jetties would only be allowed to be used during emergencies.
