KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has agreed to remove temperature checks from the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) governing entry to public places.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said this would be proposed during the National Security Council meeting for notification and update in the National Recovery Plan SOP document.
"The ministry has agreed for temperature checks to be taken out from the existing SOP.
"After it is amended in the next Covid-19 Quartet Ministerial Meeting, it will no longer be compulsory for premises to have temperature checks.
"Just scan using the MySejahtera app upon entering premises," he told a press conference today.
Khairy said the ministry is also planning to do away with the us of log books at premises, where one has to write down personal details such as name and temperature reading.
