The Ministry of Health (KKM) has introduced and launched a website with protocols related to Covid-19.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin announced today that the website will facilitate travellers and Malaysians to enter the country as the border reopens starting 1 April.

Khairy said the protocol would be updated on the portal from time to time to provide the most updated information.

Khairy also elaborated on the protocol for travellers who want to enter Malaysia.

Accordingly, if an individual begins to undergo quarantine on March 29, the quarantine will end on April 1, 2022.

If a person is undergoing quarantine before 1 April 2022, the individual’s quarantine order will expire on April 1.

He added that among other protocols is that children and adolescents aged 17 and below, regardless of vaccination status, do not need to undergo quarantine.

They only need to perform the Covid-19 rapid test kit (RTK) antigen test within 24 hours of arrival in Malaysia.

For anyone who has not received a complete vaccination or has not received a direct vaccination, it is necessary to undergo quarantine for 5 days after arrival in Malaysia.

After the quarantine is completed, the individual must follow the conditions set by the Malaysian government.

For example, those who have yet to complete their vaccination are not allowed to dine in at a restaurant.

For travellers who are exempted from receiving vaccinations due to health factors, the individual must upload the proof of exemption provided by the medical officer into the MySejahtera application.

The reopening of the border was recently announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakub.
