'Sabah students can return and self quarantine at home if swab test is negative'


PETALING JAYA: Sabah tertiary students returning from the peninsula will no longer need to be quarantined at the designated stations if they tested negative before they flew back, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said the Sabah government, Health Ministry and Higher Education Ministry have reached an agreement to resolve the issue of Sabah tertiary students who are still stranded on university campuses in Peninsular Malaysia because quarantine stations in Sabah are full.
