This requirement is among the new standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) in view of the surge of Covid-19 cases across Sarawak.
The new SOPs will be effective tomorrow (April 21) until April 26 as SDMC hopes that they can act as a six-day circuit breaker to keep Covid-19 cases in check in the various divisions.
The movement control specifically for the Kuching zone will affect residents living in Kuching Division, Samarahan Division and Serian Division.
These stricter SOPs will also be in effect for Miri Division which includes Miri zone, Marudi zone, Subis zone, Beluru zone, Telang Usan zone.
