BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Jan 8 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Minister of Health Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohd Isham Haji Jaafar has described Brunei as “the strictest country”, since anyone entering its borders will be quarantined, regardless of whether they are citizens, permanent residents, expatriates or those entering only for essential travel.

The minister said this while addressing public concerns at a press conference yesterday, on whether the Ministry of Health (MoH) has tightened its procedures, in response to the new imported cases as well as in light of the Covid-19 variant in the United Kingdom (UK).
