PETALING JAYA: Travellers who have received booster shots are only required to undergo a five-day quarantine upon arrival in Malaysia effective Monday (Jan 24), says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister also said that all travellers that entered the country would not be required to wear the pink surveillance wristbands.

However, he added that travellers from higher risk countries, who were allowed to do home quarantine, would still be required to wear a digital surveillance bracelet. "The decisions were made based on data, science and the experience of the other countries that have been managing international travellers," Khairy said at a press conference on Thursday .
