Two Bajau Laut test positive for Covid in Lahad Datu
LAHAD DATU: The public here are advised to keep their distance from the Sea gypsy (Palauh) community as two of the community’s members have been tested positive for Covid-19.

District Police Chief ACP Nasri Mansor said public should also stop giving them any form of donations who are often seen begging for money at traffic lights around the district. “Police will also take action to prevent the Palauh going to town to carry out their begging activities,” he said.

In the past there have been accidents when Palauh youngsters dashed about without regard to passing motorists.

Nasri also denied the lockdown message spread in social media saying no ins/outs were allowed for Lahad Datu people.  Nasri said so far police had set up roadblocks in four locations and three roads heading to town were closed.

“Member of public must stop spreading false information as it could cause panic and public should seek verification on any information from the authorities.
