Malaysia expands China traveller ban as coronavirus spreads

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has expanded a ban on visitors from China to include Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, after China’s decision to lock down cities in the provinces to curb the spread of the coronavirus outbreak that has claimed over 800 lives.

The Southeast Asian nation on Jan. 27 imposed a temporary ban on travellers arriving from the city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, and the surrounding province of Hubei. The restriction will be imposed on all tourists regardless of nationality who have visited Hubei, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, she added.

Twelve of the confirmed cases are Chinese nationals, while the rest are Malaysians, Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, the director general of health at the country’s Ministry of Health, said in a statement on Sunday.

A day late and a Ringgit short

Tomorrow, as the Chinese return to work after a holiday, a humanitarian catastrophe looms over the world. Wuhan, a city of more than 10 million people, is much bigger than raccoon city, and Umbrella company is not comparable to CCP. Where is our Milla Jovovich…

This is what government incompetence looks like. China should be held accountable by the UN for their gross mismanagement of this epidemic. Their ignorance has caused world wide panic. Remember that with your next purchase.

Will China demand an apology from Malaysia on discriminating its citizens?

Cries of racism is a simple person's response. It's a matter of life and death.

Those who say racist , allow travelers to come to your countries
