BANGKOK (Bernama): Many Malaysians working or on holidays in Thailand scrambled to book the next flight to Malaysia after a two-week nationwide movement control order from March 18 was announced in the country due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Many Malaysians rushed to airports early morning to make sure they got back home by Tuesday (March 17) to avoid being slapped with the 14-day self-quarantine under the order.
