Returning Malaysians and non-citizens permitted to enter the country will once more be made to undergo mandatory two-week quarantine at specified quarantine centres from Friday, July 24.

Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today said the government has decided to revoke the allowance for those entering the country to self-quarantine at home.

Speaking during his press briefing in Putrajaya today, the defence minister said the uptick in global Covid-19 cases over the past few days contributed to the increase in the number of domestic cases as Malaysians returned from abroad.
