MIRI – More than half of the deaths recorded in Sarawak recently involved those who were fully vaccinated.
State Disaster Management Committee adviser Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian said that this was confirmed by the Health Department.
Sarawak saw 57 deaths from the coronavirus over the past seven days from September 1 to 7.
“I was informed by the Health Department that more than 50% of the latest deaths were individuals already fully vaccinated but they were still suffering multiple comorbidities.
“That is why those fully vaccinated but feeling ill must still get medical treatment quickly.
“There are many brought-in-dead cases involving people who died at home and were only confirmed to have succumbed to Covid-19 when they were brought to hospital,” said Sim in response to netizens voicing concerns over the high death toll.
