The government finds that there is no necessity to place a blanket ban on all visitors from China for now, says deputy prime minister Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
Speaking at a press conference in Putrajaya this morning, Wan Azizah (above) said a high-level committee meeting on Covid-19 made the conclusion today, where they also decided to tighten screening measures at the country's entry points.
"The matter (banning visitors from China) was discussed. However, in today's meeting, we found that there is no necessity.
"We (decided) to further strengthen checks on Malaysians returning from China," she told the press conference, which was held after Wan Azizah chaired the Central Disaster Management Committee meeting at the Prime Minister's Department.
