PETALING JAYA: Travellers are no longer required to fill up a traveller’s card in the MySejahtera app before entering the country, says health minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
He said the requirement will be done away with from Monday after taking into account the better state of the country’s healthcare at present.
“After evaluation, if they are found to have signs of Covid-19, monkeypox, MERS-CoV or any other illness, they will be sent for further checks and treatment at the nearest health facility,” he said in a statement.
