Health DG: 'Green bubble' concept in cross-border travel to only be introduced if Covid-19 infections under control


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will only consider introducing the “green bubble” concept in easing the country's cross-border travel when it has Covid-19 infections under control during the recovery movement control order (MCO) period.

Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said for the concept to work, the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the countries involved in the bubble must be considered.
