KUCHING, March 30: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) wants village folks to remain vigilant and continue adopting new norms in their daily activities as several Covid-19 clusters have emerged in villages in Kuching Zone.
As such, MPP has initiated a ‘Let’s Curb Covid-19′ programme to distribute posters to increase awareness as well as to remind village folks to practise new normal to villages under its jurisdiction.
MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang and Deputy Chairman Dato’ Ahmad Ibrahim have this morning handed over the posters to councillors for distribution to villages and village folks.
“This is a continuous awareness programme targeted at village folks given that Covid-19 spread is still rampant with a few clusters having emerged in villages in Kuching Zone.
“The reminders are the same like wear masks when outside, practise physical distancing of at least one metre, avoid crowded areas and gathering in groups and frequently wash hands with soap or use hand sanitisers,” he told a press conference after MPP full council meeting via Zoom today.
Meanwhile, members of the public who are unable or faced difficulties in registering for Covid-19 Immunisation Programme can go down to Sg Maong market at 3rd Mile here this Saturday (April 3) to get themselves registered.
MPP will be holding a programme to assist the State Health Department for the immunisation registration.
A similar programme will also be organised at Kota Padawan market, 10th Mile here on April 10.
Lo shared that MPP will be going to the ground including all the markets under its jurisdiction to help people register for the immunisation programme.
“We had done one (programme) last Saturday at 7th Mile market and this coming Saturday (April 3).
“So we encourage those who are unable to register for the immunisation to come down and we will help them,” he said.
Lo also took the opportunity to advise Sarawakians to register themselves for Covid-19 immunisation using the MySejahtera app. — DayakDaily
