Coronavirus: No more visa extensions for stranded Chinese tourists, CM warns

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal handouts "angpows" to the senior citizens during the Penampang Chinese New Year celebrations hosted by Penampang MP Datuk Darell Leiking, who is also International Trade and Industry Minister.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah cannot extend tourists visas to more than a week, because it does not have sufficient facilities to cope in the event of a novel coronavirus outbreak in the state, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

He said that it was important for Sabah to manage the situation, as it had limited resources in terms of hospitals and specialists to handle any major medical emergency.
