Sarawak to begin transition to endemic Covid-19 - CM

 


The total number of daily Covid-19 cases in Sarawak, exceeding 3,000 for the past three days, shows that the state has started to transition from the pandemic to the endemic phase, when almost all cases are asymptomatic or showing mild symptoms only.

Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg said that the Covid-19 vaccination programme, carried out in Sarawak since February, had succeeded in boosting the immune system and reducing the serious effects of the disease.

“According to health experts, the situation is the same as cholera, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and swine flu, which can be fought, which will lead to a phase called endemic. We will live with the virus, but we have a healthy immune system in the body (to protect) us,” he said.

Abang Johari was speaking to reporters after inspecting the vaccination exercise for teenagers, aged 16 to 17, at Kampung Telaga Air, about 25km from Kuching.

He also said that thus far, Sarawak had achieved 88.9 percent of the two-dose vaccination for eligible adults, or 65.1 of its entire population.

This percentage, he said, would continue to increase, as the vaccination programme was still ongoing.
