Minos admitted that it was regrettable that Samarahan has more than 40 cases and thus declared a red zone, a given its name as high education hub and also housing a medical centre.

He also lamented that the few people who deliberately defied the movement control order (MCO) had brought a bad name to Samarahan.

“The government is trying very, very hard to ensure the safety of the nation and yet a few people do not understand or purposely don’t want thus very simple matter and this is really regrettable,” he asserted.

He said that this had resulted in medical teams, council, police and army, having to work day and night to carry out roadblocks and disinfection exercises with to prevent further spread of Covid-19.

He hoped that the people work together to prevent further spread of the virus and prayed that Covid-19 be “dead and buried” end of next month. —DayakDaily
