PETALING JAYA: From today onwards, travellers from countries with reported monkeypox cases will be given an alert on the MySejahtera app to monitor their health and symptoms for 21 days, says Heath Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

“As of Friday, the MySejahtera app will be updated so that passengers coming from countries where monkeypox is endemic or isn’t, will receive an alert,” he said, adding that in the event of an outbreak, the MySejahtera’s Home Surveillance Order (HSO) SOP will be replicated.
