Take Covid test before returning for Raya, Kelantanese told

 

Outstation Kelantanese who are returning home for Hari Raya have been urged to take a Covid-19 test beforehand.

KOTA BHARU: Kelantanese people living outside the state have been urged to take a Covid-19 test before returning to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Kelantan menteri besar Ahmad Yakob said testing was one of the best methods to curb the spread of Covid-19 and to keep their parents and families safe from the virus.

“We are still not 100% Covid-free,” he said.

While Hari Raya visits are now allowed, after two years of restrictions, the people must follow the rules by wearing a face mask and keeping a safe distance from each other “especially when gathering at relatives’ houses and so on, even though you are fully vaccinated and have received the booster dose,” he said.

Ahmad spoke to reporters after a media event at his residence here today.

Kelantan police chief Shafien Mamat has said that about two million vehicles were expected to enter the state during the Aidilfitri celebrations. - FMT
