LABUAN (Bernama): Police have set up a roadblock at the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)-sanctioned settlement of Kiamsam, here, after the Labuan health authority declared the settlement as a Covid-19 red zone.
Police say the 10-day roadblock which started on Tuesday (Dec 29) is to control the flow of people and vehicles moving in and out of the area.
Acting Labuan OCPD Deputy Supt Mohd Ibrahim Ghani said the roadblock was also to help the Labuan health personnel carry out Covid-19 active case detection and monitoring smoothly. The roadblock is not meant to stop people from going in and out of the settlement but rather to ensure those (refugees and residents) undergoing quarantine stay quarantined.
