KUCHING: Two longhouses in Ulu Undop and Lubok Antu in Sri Aman, some 200km from here, have been placed under a lockdown with immediate effect after the detection of local Covid-19 infections, said Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.
He said this was to control the movements of residents and outsiders in these areas and to facilitate active case detection (ACD) in the two longhouses.
“The Sri Aman Disaster Management Committee has imposed a lockdown at Rumah Panjang Sungai Putong, Ulu Undop and Rumah Panjang Bui Panjai, Lubok Antu. The lockdown means no residents are allowed to go out of the longhouses,” he told a news conference here, today.
