Dropping mobile check-ins depends on infection trend post reopening on Apr 1, says Khairy

PUTRAJAYA: MySejahtera check-ins could be removed in a month or so, depending on the Covid-19 infection trend after Malaysia's reopening on April 1.

"We want to see first after the country opens its borders to travellers as well as remove Covid-19 restrictions this April 1.

"We also have the fasting month coming up. If there are no significant changes to mobility and infection patterns, we can drop mobile check-ins. This is in a month or so," said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin to reporters.

He was responding to a statement issued by the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) which called for MySejahtera check-ins to be scrapped, with Malaysia about to transition into the endemic phase.
