The police chief, accompanied by his deputy Superintendent Collin Babat and officerin-charge of Lanang Police Station sub inspector Devaraj Subramaniam, visited the sites of the roadblock in Sentosa.
Meanwhile, on Thursday night, Sibu Divisional Disaster Management Committee (SDDMC), said the EMCO would be enforced in Phase 2 of Sentosa Resettlement Scheme from 12.01am Feb 27 to 11.59pm March 12 due to the high number of Covid-19 cases in the area.

Councillor Nazatusyima Bujang urged the residents to give their full cooperation to ensure the success of EMCO in curbing the spread of Covid-19 in the area.
