Sarawak gov­ern­ment will soon reveal the new pro­ce­dures in deal­ing with Per­sons Un­der Sur­veil­lance (PUS) cases

On behalf of the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee #JPBNS I have recently announced that Sarawak gov­ern­ment will soon reveal the new pro­ce­dures in deal­ing with Per­sons Un­der Sur­veil­lance (PUS) cases, who are presently undergoing quar­an­tined in local hotels. 
This is because there is a short­age of ho­tel rooms to be used to quar­an­tine and iso­late PUS cases around the state as more are ex­pected to re­turn to Sarawak from overseas or from other states dur­ing the Ra­madan pe­riod. I have mentioned this to our media friends on our State Government efforts to implement the new pro­ce­dures for those quar­an­tined in des­ig­nated ho­tels, tak­ing into ac­count the feed­backs we got from peo­ple, and the short­ages of ho­tels to house these PUS cases.
I have also mentioned that one way to deal with this would be to al­low the PUS cases to go home if their first test re­sults were neg­a­tive because maybe af­ter two or three days be­ing quar­an­tined in their ho­tel rooms, when their re­sults come back neg­a­tive, they are allowed to go home, but they must con­tinue their home-quar­an­tine for the re­main­der of the 14-day pe­riod. 
On that note, the Sarawak Mul­ti­me­dia Au­thor­ity (SMA) is going to or­der more smart wrist tags for PUS cases due to a short­age in the supply which also could not meet the in­creas­ing num­ber of PUS cases at the moment. In the mean­time, we are ad­vising those clas­si­fied as PUS to strictly abide by the Movement Control Order (MCO) as well as the quar­an­tine or­der or oth­er­wise the po­lice will take ac­tion against them.
