KUALA LUMPUR: Tourism players may be all excited over the return of Chinese visitors, but even they realise that protecting the health of all concerned should remain the priority amid Covid-19.

“We will adhere (to any standard operating procedure) from the Health Ministry. Even though we are excited to meet the tourists, health comes first,” said Malaysian Inbound Tourist Association (Mita) president Uzaidi Udanis.
