Malaysia adds health workers at KLIA for flights from Sabah after complaints over long queues

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has added the number of health workers and equipment at the country's main Kuala Lumpur International Airport to check on flight passengers from Sabah, following complaints on social media that many had to queue between three to six hours to get Covid-19 tests.

Sabah has seen an explosion of Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, and held state elections last weekend. The health ministry made Covid-19 tests compulsory from Sunday for all passengers arriving from Sabah. The complaints were that there were not enough personnel manning the tests, and this was compounded when more flights arrived.
