KUALA LUMPUR: Starting Monday (Aug 1), travellers entering the country will no longer need to submit their details and complete the Traveller's Pass feature on the MySejahtera application.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the relaxation followed the development of the country's current health system which was good and under control.
The relaxation would also facilitate the entry procedures of travellers to Malaysia, he said.
However, he stressed that the ministry would continue to monitor travellers who exhibit symptoms of Covid-19, monkeypox, MERS-CoV, and other infectious diseases before referring them to nearby health facilities for further treatment.
"The ministry will continue to monitor health symptoms among travellers at all international ports of entry into Malaysia.
"Upon arrival, if a traveller is detected with a fever through the thermal scanners, or found to be unwell through self-referral by the traveller, they will be referred for re-examination by the health department", he said in a statement today.
Khairy reminded travellers arriving from abroad to monitor their health status, comply with the standard operating procedures (SOP) and go to the nearest health facility for examination if found unwell.
It was previously announced that Malaysians returning to the country were no longer required to complete the Traveller's Pass feature on the MySejahtera application.
Foreigners would still have to complete and submit their details in the Traveller's Pass.
