MIRI, Mar 27: Miri Hospital is running out of face shields for its healthcare workers.
According to Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) secretary general Datuk Sebastian Ting, after being informed on the low supply of face shields by Miri hospital’s director Dr Jack Wong, SUPP Piasau started production for 1,000 DIY face shields.
