Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says 88 Malaysians who returned from overseas only tested positive for Covid-19 as their 14-day quarantine was about to end. FMTNews Covid19 MCO

PUTRAJAYA: The health ministry today explained its caution over border control, saying some Malaysians returning to the country had tested positive for Covid-19 only after a second screening.

Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said 360 Malaysians who returned from overseas tested positive for the virus, 88 of which cases were only detected the day before their 14-day quarantine was to have ended. “They tested negative first. So we quarantined them, but on the 13th day we swabbed them again and they were positive.

“Because of that, we are very concerned about opening our borders. It would be the last thing we do,” he told reporters during his daily briefing here when asked if there were plans to open up the country’s borders.
