KOTA KINABALU: Sabah recorded 105 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday along with one fatality and one new cluster.
State Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun said that Kota Kinabalu recorded the highest number of cases with 24 cases, followed by Nabawan (19) and Keningau (15).
Masidi, who is the state official Covid-19 spokesperson, explained that the increase of 11 cases (compared to Tuesday) was due to the new cluster detected in Nabawan, which was dubbed as the Sinsingon Cluster.
