JOHOR BARU - Johor Immigration has been told to strictly adhere to the Malaysian government's latest decision that Malaysian workers returning from Singapore must first show proof of being cleared of Covid-19. In a note to the state Immigration director, department director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud said only those who had undergone the swab test in the Republic and certified free from the deadly disease would be exempted from the otherwise mandatory 14-day quarantine. He said they must have documents to show that they had tested negative. Datuk Khairul said the latest ruling was made by the special Cabinet meeting last Friday (April 3). Prior to this, the workers only needed to show a letter from a doctor in Singapore that they had no Covid-19 symptoms.
