TAWAU: Sabah’s first Covid-19 case died Friday, less than two weeks after he was confirmed to have the virus and about three weeks after returning from a major Tabligh gathering in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, that was participated by some 14,000 people. He was identified as Hj Mohd Bartok, (pic) 58.

He was there with supposedly 2,000 others from Sabah. Many of the new wave of cases both in Malaysia and neighbouring countries have all been traced to this gathering.
