The Lahad Datu Benteng Cluster was first identified in the jail of the District Police Headquarters in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

In the first screening of 50 prisoners on 28 August, they detected 7 positive cases. However, that cluster has now resulted in :

  • 83 cases (40 new cases today alone) in Tawau Prison, with 1201 individuals waiting for their test results

However, this lockdown will only affect the prisoners, prison staff and their family members who live within the prison area.
