KUALA LUMPUR — All returnees from abroad, both Malaysian citizens or otherwise, are required to undergo mandatory quarantine at centres designated by the Malaysian government starting July 24, the country’s senior minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Tuesday (July 21).
He said those who undergo the mandatory quarantine will have to bear full accommodation costs, be it in hotels or other quarantine centres.
“Because of those who flout rules of mandatory home quarantine, starting this Friday, those who return from abroad will no longer observe quarantine from home, but will be sent to quarantine centres (like before).
“The entire cost during the mandatory quarantine at the centres will be born in full by returnees,” he said in his regular press briefing. MALAY MAIL
