Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s caseload nearly breached the 200 mark with 192 cases on Saturday from 170 the day earlier.Sabah’s Covid-19 Spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the high figures were largely contributed by the increasing number of infections in highly populated urban areas such as Kota Kinabalu, Penampang and Sandakan.
