Effective this Sunday, all travellers from China are required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 according to the criteria set by their home country, before entering Sabah.
State Local Government and Housing Minister Masidi Manjun said travellers also need to present a negative Covid-19 test result (through RT-PCR or RTK Ag Professional test) which they underwent within 48 hours before departure to the state.
“This was decided at the State Cabinet meeting today,” Masidi (above), who is Sabah’s Covid-19 spokesperson, said in a statement last night.
He said the state government also stipulated that all travellers arriving in Sabah from abroad will be screened using a thermal scanner, and those with fever symptoms will undergo further check-ups.
“Travellers with Covid-19 symptoms must undergo the RTK Antigen test,” he said.
Meanwhile, Masidi said, 12 new Covid-19 cases were reported in Sabah yesterday, while 138 patients were still receiving treatment, including 10 patients who required critical care, and 23 patients had recovered.
