HEALTH Minister Khairy Jamaluddin told the public to cooperate with business premises and show them their risk status on MySejahtera when asked.

This comes after the government scrapped mandatory check-ins via the contact-tracing app from tomorrow.

Khairy’s comment, posted on Twitter today, comes after an engagement session with the retail industry.

“Transitioning to endemicity will require tripartite cooperation: government with clear advisory, businesses to promote safe premises, and public commitment to community solidarity and individual responsibility.

“What does this mean? Malls will not check your risk status at entrances, but businesses like restaurants (high risk since unmasked) may (recommended) ask to see your risk status. Please cooperate.”

Khairy said if a person tests positive for Covid-19, it is their duty to stay home and undergo home surveillance orders (HSO).

On Wednesday, Putrajaya announced that scanning MySejahtera QR codes will no longer be compulsory when entering any outlet or public place from tomorrow.

Khairy said people will be allowed to enter all premises, regardless of vaccination status.

“Management still needs to check the risk status of patrons on MySejahtera.

“Those with a high-risk status on the app or those given a HSO are banned from entering any premises.”

He said wearing masks outdoors will also be optional from tomorrow.

“Using masks in open areas or outside buildings is optional but highly recommended, as they can reduce the spread of infection.”

Masking remains compulsory indoors and on public transport, including e-hailing vehicles, he added. – April 30, 2022.
