KUCHING: Sarawak authorities are investigating a Covid-19 patient in Miri for failing to declare her overseas travel history when returning to the state.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah said the woman, who recently returned from Tunisia, was in transit at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, where her rapid antigen test came back negative.
"When she arrived in Miri , she filled in an e-health declaration form but did not state she was coming back from overseas. Therefore she was treated as a Sarawakian returning from Kuala Lumpur and not subject to quarantine. He said the case was now under investigation as it was an offence to misinform authorities when filling in the e-health declaration form.Uggah also said Sarawak reported one new positive case on Wednesday , bringing the tally of confirmed cases to 570.
