The Health Ministry today insisted there is no local transmission of the deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) in Sarawak just as it announced 75 more Sarawakians have been placed under quarantine yesterday.
Ministry's deputy director-general Dr Mohd Ismail Merican in his daily briefing on Sars claimed Sarawak did not show any indication of local transmission, even as two deaths could be due to Sars and 760 people in the state being quarantined were reported.
