While failing to update your MySejahtera status isn’t an offence, you should take do the responsible thing and update it regularly according to Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri.
He said this is because the application was created by the government to assist in controlling the spread of infection and to allow users to perform health evaluations, based on reports from The Star.
As such, the application is not just used to scan codes so that we can enter a place. Also important is that the status is updated constantly, depending on our daily activities and movement.

Ismail also urged users to submit truthful information especially when it came to symptoms.
He also touched the confusion which led to the recent compounds, urging all enforcement agents to not misinterpret the standard operating procedures (SOP).

- those who start to develop Covid-19 symptoms
- traveled overseas
- had contact with a Covid-19 patient
- have been diagnosed with Covid-19
Police decide to cancel compounds
