Kota Kinabalu: After breaching the 200 mark the day earlier, Sabah’s Covid-19 caseload on Friday dipped to 176 cases from 205.

Sabah’s Covid-19 spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the decrease was due to a significant drop in Penampang (-45) and Putatan (-14), while 12 districts did not record any new infections.  However, Masidi said 13 districts recorded an increase compared to five that recorded a decrease, which include Lahad Datu (+7), Sandakan (+7), Tuaran (+6) and Kota Belud (+5). “Kota Kinabalu topped the list with 80 cases, followed by Penampang (19), Tuaran (15), Sandakan (12) and Papar (9),” he said in a statement, Friday. He said 174 out of 176 cases were category one and two infections, while two cases were in category four. 72 per cent were sporadic infections.
