New Covid-19 cluster identified in Sabah

Sep 16, 2020

A new Covid-19 cluster involving a family of nine was identified in Kunak, Sabah.

The Health Ministry says the index case of the new Pulau cluster is a 68-year-old woman who was taken to Kunak Hospital after she was found unconscious at home.

The Pulau cluster is the third Sabah cluster to be reported since the start of this month, when the Benteng Lahad Datu cluster was first reported.

This comes as we reported 23 new Covid-19 cases yesterday, raising the number of active infections to 632.

DBKL will increase the use of body camera to enhance the integrity and prevent misconduct among its personnel when dealing with the public.

The KL Mayor says 5 body cameras are currently being used as the pilot project, and the usage will be widened in the future.

He is hoping that this will improve effectiveness and fend off misunderstandings towards enforcement personnel.

US officials in Kentucky have agreed to pay 12 million dollars to the family of a black woman who was killed in her home by the police.

The 26-year-old victim was shot at least five times and killed in March during a mistaken drugs raid.

The settlement is the largest financial sum paid in a police misconduct case in the city's history.
