PM: Health Ministry given 2-3 weeks to present proposals, SOP on border reopening


ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Health Ministry (MOH) has been given two to three weeks to present to the Cabinet proposals and standard operating procedures (SOP) for the reopening of the country’s borders.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said a decision on whether to open the borders must be looked into carefully, as the government has been receiving a lot of feedback on the matter, including public views for more intervention to be done by the government, especially with regards to SOP and so on due to concerns on Covid-19 transmission.
