SIBU: The Bintulu Disaster Management Committee should review inter-district travel rules into the district due to the rising number of Covid-19 cases, says Datuk Seri Tiong King SingIn a statement on Saturday , the Bintulu MP said BDMC had no choice but to review all standard operating procedures for entry and exit into the district.
He said that previously, workers only needed to show a letter from their employer to enter Bintulu, but some letters were found to be fake, issued by non-existent companies. "I have requested the Bintulu Health Department to develop countermeasures and look into reducing the costs of testing on people who must enter and exit the district frequently to ease their burdens," he said."If the authorities do not take the proper precautions as soon as possible, all will face a far more severe situation. In Bintulu currently, there are 11 transport drivers from four different logistics companies being infected.
