SDMC said the decision was made following the risk assessment by State Health Department and the National Security Council (MKN) on the three indicators for southern zone.
With Sarawak’s southern zone transitioned into Phase 3 of NRP on Oct 1, the whole of Sarawak will be in Phase 3 of NRP from next month onwards.
