Covid-19: Quarantine period for inbound travellers will not be relaxed, says Health DG


PUTRAJAYA: The quarantine period for inbound travellers will not be relaxed for the time being, as the Health Ministry is still wary over the transmission of new Covid-19 variants, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said the ministry receives numerous appeals from people wanting their quarantine stay to be exempted or cut short.
