Health DG: Scrapping home quarantine for returning Malaysians a welcome move


PETALING JAYA: As clusters begin to grow and the number of new cases increases daily, Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah welcomes the government’s move to scrap home quarantine for returnees from abroad.

“Three out of the 13 clusters are related to local transmissions of Covid-19 cases from imported cases, namely the clusters of Novgorod PUI, Shirala PUI and Pitakwa PUI,” said Dr Noor Hisham.
