KOTA KINABALU: Eight Sabah districts continue to remain in "isolation" as they have yet to reach the 60% fully vaccinated mark to open up its borders for inter district travel within zones. Two urban east coast Sabah districts; Tawau and Sandakan, together with Kinabatangan, Telupid, Tongod, Semporna, Papar and Nabawan, have yet to cross the mark. Masidi, who is state Covid 19 spokesman, said that the state CITF calculates their zoning eligibility based on statistics submitted by the CITF district chairman. Sabah Community Development and People Well-being Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya also gave little indication on the reasons why the districts were failing to reach their respective targets. Sabah's daily vaccinations were averaging about 20,000 daily, a far cry from the momentum it picked up early last month where daily vaccinations averaged between 45,000 to 60,000.
