Stay up to date with the latest Covid-19 developments in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo before you plan your next holiday in this part of the world.

Statistic as of Tuesday 14 July 2020

As the Covid-19 situation in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo begins to ease with only zero to one digit number of cases daily since early June, we have entered the Recovery phase where almost all businesses including ourselves have reopened. Currently, there are also no longer any red-zone districts in the state. Though our Movement Control Order has been relaxed, we are embracing the new normal and continuously complying with SOPs during this time.
