Move on Safma fish sales

Kota Kinabalu: The State Government has decided to stop the sale of fish and other marine products at the Safma Fishery Complex immediately throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO) period.

State Secretary Datuk Safar Untong said this is due to the crowds at the Complex every day. It was decided at the meeting of Sabah Covid-19 Command Centre, Tuesday, that Safma Complex be used for fish loading and wholesale only.

“We also noted there have been crowd congestion in the city and townships across the state since Monday, especially at bank branches.

“Therefore, we urge the people to always practise social distancing when dealing with banks, whether they are queuing before entering the bank or when they are inside the bank. “People are also advised not to rush going to the bank branches and at the same time, the banks are advised to limit the number of customers at a time,” he added.
