Sabah screening returning students to decide if they go to quarantine centres or home


KOTA KINABALU: Samples are now being taken from students arriving from outside Sabah to identify those allowed to self-quarantine at home and those who would need to be sent to quarantine centres.

Sabah Health and People’s Wellbeing minister Datuk Frankie Poon said this action was taken immediately after Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal gave exceptions to allow those without symptoms and who came from green zones to undergo home quarantine on Saturday (May 2).
