Nancy: New SOP for umrah to be finalised after close scrutiny by relevant agencies


PUTRAJAYA: The new and improved standard operating procedures (SOPs) for umrah will be finalised after being closely scrutinised by several relevant agencies, says the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

She said the SOPs relating to quarantine order for umrah pilgrims were among those being looked into by the agencies, such as the Health Ministry (MOH), National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) and the Finance Ministry (MOF), as quarantine matters were not under her ministry’s purview.
