Kedah MB says Covid-19 screening tests right move to protect Langkawi

LANGKAWI, Sept 17 — Subjecting every tourist heading to Langkawi to mandatory Covid-19 screening tests is a wise decision that will protect the tourism bubble pioneer project and the island resort, Kedah Mentri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said.

“The screenings are very beneficial and effective, and has proven itself as a requirement because category one and two positive cases usually have no symptoms. Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said yesterday that five individuals were found to be Covid-19 positive after being screened before heading to Langkawi. All cases were category one without any symptoms.

He also advised those who wished to visit Langkawi to get screened earlier to avoid crowding at entry points into Langkawi.
