PUTRAJAYA: Malaysians are encouraged to get themselves tested for Covid-19 overseas before they make the trip home, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said this was to avoid long waits at entry points, particularly at airports as the government anticipates more Malaysians returning home, thanks to more flights being available now.
