MALAYSIANS returning home from overseas are no longer required to be quarantined for 14 days at quarantine centres, said Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The defence minister said that they will be screened upon arrival at the airport, with those testing positive to be sent to hospitals immediately.

“When you arrive, you will be tested using a swab test and, if you are positive, you will be sent to hospital.

“If you are negative, you can go home for self-quarantine. You are not allowed to leave home and you will be given a wristband to wear,” Ismail Sabri told his daily press conference today.

He said the wristband allows the authorities to identify those under home quarantine.

He added that those under self-quarantine caught leaving their homes will be fined or even charged.

“You can be jailed and fine if you are charged in court,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri urged Malaysians to download the MySejahtera app before they returning home from overseas.

“You have to download the app before flying home,” he added. – June 7, 2020.
