KOTA KINABALU: China’s Consulate-General in Kota Kinabalu is currently coordinating with the nation’s central and local authorities to send medical aid to Sabah to assist the State in managing the Covid-19 outbreak.

Its official, when contacted by Daily Express Saturday, said it takes time to get the medical supplies transported to a port in China, but the Chinese authorities hope the materials will arrive in Sabah as soon as possible.

“We want to do this in return to the support given by Sabah to China before,” he said when asked on news reports that China is sending medical supplies to Malaysia to help fight Covid-19.
