Travellers arriving from countries with reported cases of Omicron are required to use a digital tracking device during their quarantine period in Malaysia starting tomorrow.

Khairy said individuals entering the country either under the VTL, LITB, or OSC programmes must first ensure they are fully vaccinated, and undergo a CT-PCR COVID-19 swab test at least 48 hours prior to their travel dates.

“They would also need to undergo a professional RTK-Ag antigen rapid test on the third and fifth day after arriving. All test results must be reported through the MySejahtera application,” he said. Travellers from these eight nations must also use a digital tracking device for the entire length of their 14-day mandatory quarantine period at the designated isolation centres.
