Redzuan: Entry ban an early measure to contain virus


Reports by HEMANANTHANI SIVANANDAM, RAHIMY RAHIM, MARTIN CARVALHO and TARRENCE TAN

THE blanket ban not to allow citizens from countries with more than 150,000 Covid-19 cases was an early measure that had since been reversed after more information was received and new risk analysis carried out, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof.

He said the decision to issue a blanket ban was made at that time as there was insufficient data on the spread and containment measures taken by other countries.
