Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor (pic) said as of Nov 15, the number of Covid-19 swab test samples in Sabah laboratories stood at 3,755. He said this in response to Api Api Assemblywoman Datuk Christina Liew who inquired about the status of the more than 12,000 Covid swab test samples from Sabah that were reportedly yet to be processed.
“The Government through the Health Ministry (KKM) has taken the necessary steps to reduce the number of samples in laboratories. The samples are processed at three laboratories, namely the Kota Kinabalu Public Health Laboratory, UMS Laboratory and Queen Elizabeth Hospital Laboratory with a testing capacity of 2,700 samples a day. We also do outsourcing to private laboratories in Sabah.
