Masyarakat Dayak dinasihati supaya tidak mengadakan aktiviti ngabang semasa sambutan Perayaan Hari Gawai Dayak tidak lama lagi.

Aktiviti kunjung mengunjung semasa sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri yg lalu menyebabkan kes2 jag kitak COVID-19 naik semula di Sarawak.
Patuhilah SOP yg telah dikeluarkan

Jika kes terus melonjak,ianya akan memberi impak kpd petugas2 barisan hadapan di hospital dan pusat Kuarantin kerana katil yg tidak mencukupi.

Gawai Dayak is traditionally a time when we give thanks for an abundant harvest and blessings that we have received.

It is also a time for merry making.

However, just like all the other festivals that occurred over the past two years, Gawai Dayak will have to be celebrated just within our own households as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).


Unlike in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic affected mainly the urban areas in Sarawak, this year the virus has spread to most of the rural areas.

The number of longhouses that had to be placed under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) had also increased.
The number of clusters in Sarawak had also increased. The majority of these clusters occurred due to poor compliance with current Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Among the contributing factors for these clusters are social gathering, birthday celebrations, wedding events, funerals, cock-fighting events and inter-district movement. In each cluster, the number of cases involved could be up to a few hundreds.

In the past few months, we have seen a surge of COVID-19 cases which was higher than last year during the same period. There were 152 deaths in the period of January to April 2021. In addition, in the last few weeks Sarawak had recorded between 300 to 600 cases per day.

Most hospital beds that were meant to be used for general illnesses have to be converted and used for COVID-19 cases. Beds in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) are be insufficient to cope with the increased number of cases.

The quarantine centres are also insufficient.


Thus, for the coming Gawai, we appeal to everyone to adhere to the following:
a)​do not go back to your villages or long houses if you are staying in town, for example;
b)​avoid Gawai visiting (ngabang);
c) ​celebrate Gawai with family members only in the same household, or room (bilik);
d) ​avoid gathering in common area or ruai;
e) ​do not organise cock-fighting events; and
f) ​follow the SOPs that were announced by State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC).

In other words, please stay at home and do not make any inter-district movements.


By limiting our movements during this Gawai celebration, we can help to reduce the risks of COVID-19 transmission. The prevention and control of COVID-19 is the responsibility of the whole community and not only government agencies alone. Everyone should be responsible for their own health and let us work together to prevent this disease from spreading further.

'Iboh balit kampung Gawai kelak'


Kuching: Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Sarawak menggesa orang ramai terutama yang tinggal di bandar menangguhkan hasrat untuk pulang ke kampung atau rumah panjang pada Hari Gawai, 1 Jun ini susulan peningkatan mendadak kes Covid-19 di Sarawak ketika ini.

Pesanan menerusi perutusan Hari Gawai yang dikeluarkan bersama Pakar Kesihatan Perubatan Awam Bahagian Kuching, Dr Eunice Melissa Joseph; Pegawai Kesihatan Bahagian Betong, Dr Johnny Pangkas; Pegawai Pendidikan Kesihatan, Gabriel Alexis dan bekas Pengarah Kesihatan Sarawak, Profesor Datuk Dr Andrew Kiyu Dawie itu turut merayu orang ramai untuk terus duduk di rumah dan tidak merentas daerah.


"Orang ramai juga disarankan untuk tidak melakukan aktiviti ziarah atau 'ngabang' pada Hari Gawai, sebaliknya mereka dinasihatkan untuk menyambut perayaan dengan ahli keluarga yang tinggal serumah sahaja.

"Selain itu, orang ramai juga harus mengelakkan diri daripada berkumpul di suatu tempat dan tidak menganjurkan aktiviti seperti sabung ayam," katanya.

Menurutnya lagi, situasi pandemik Covid-19 kini semakin membimbangkan dan keadaan berbeza dengan sambutan perayaan Hari Gawai tahun lalu kerana kini ia sudah merebak ke sebahagian besar kawasan luar bandar.

"Jumlah rumah panjang yang dikenakan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Diperketatkan (PKPD) juga meningkat pada tahun ini, malah jumlah kluster di Sarawak juga meningkat dan sebahagian besar daripadanya timbul berikutan pematuhan SOP yang lemah.

"Antara faktor penyumbang kepada kewujudan kluster itu adalah perhimpunan sosial, sambutan ulang tahun, acara perkahwinan, pengebumian, acara sabung ayam dan pergerakan antara daerah," katanya.

Justeru, orang ramai harus bersama membendung penularan dengan membatalkan hasrat untuk balik kampung, tidak melakukan aktiviti ziarah dan tidak berkumpul pada perayaan Hari Gawai ini.
