BEKENU: Any Bekenu resident who recently travelled abroad, especially to China in the last two weeks, are advised to go for a health screening for early detection of the coronavirus.
This notice was displayed at Bekenu health clinic’s counter, which saw the clinic filled up with people waiting in line to undergo the health screening.
In January this year, the coronavirus was detected originating from Wuhan, China.
Following the outbreak which has spread to other countries, Sarawak has tightened up its screening process including barring travellers from China coming into the state as part of its effort to contain and prevent the virus.
To date, Sarawak has recorded 32 suspected coronavirus cases, with 24 tested negative while the remaining eight still pending, comprising six in Kuching and one each in Bintulu and Miri.
