After noting that the number of Covid-19 cases in Sabah has dropped in the last few weeks, the Health Ministry has lifted the mandatory 14-day quarantine for Sabah returnees moving forward. However, this comes on the back of news that the country has hit a new record high of cases nationwide. Azrul Khalid of the Galen Centre for Health & Social Policy talks to us about this move and shares his thoughts on the progress of our CMCO.
