Shafie: No tourist visa extension after seven days

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

He said it was important for Sabah to manage the situation properly as it had limited resources in terms of hospitals and specialists to handle any major emergencies that might stem from the viral outbreak in China.
