MIRI: Miri Division Disaster Management Committee (MDDMC) will announce more stringent standard operating procedures (SOPs) soon, in view of the surging Covid-19 positive cases in the division.

The committee’s minister incharge, Datuk Lee Kim Shin, in a statement yesterday said the decision to tighten the SOPs has been agreed by the representa­tives of all agencies of the committee.

“The proposed SOPs have been brought to the attention of the State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) to be approved and to be announced,” said Lee.

The Minister of Transport urged the public to give full cooperatio­n to the government and strictly comply with the SOPs, to curb the spread of Covid-19 infection.

“Miri district previously remained a green zone for a very long period of time before the Bay Sayap cluster in January this year. I believe we can achieve it again with strict compliance and self-discipline from everyone,” said Lee.
