[Pandemic] 33 [Malaysians working in Singapore can self-isolate at home if they test negative for coronavirus]

[Malaysians working in Singapore can undergo a coronavirus test in Singapore, and if the result is negative, they are allowed to self-isolate at home.]

During the MCO period, Malaysians working in Singapore who wish to return to Malaysia can do so if they undergo a coronavirus test in Singapore and obtain a “Fit to Travel” certificate confirming a negative result. They are permitted to quarantine at home without having to go to a quarantine center.

Here’s the announcement:

The “Health Travel Certificate, Fit to Travel” can be obtained through testing at a clinic in Singapore (though it’s unclear if there are specific designated clinics), and surprisingly, it costs only SGD 40 (approximately RM120). Wasn’t the cost for testing in Malaysia around RM600?

We’ll continue to update this.

Let’s stay calm and fight COVID-19 together. In response to the impact of the novel coronavirus, Malaysia announced a “Movement Control Order” from March 18 to March 31, effective from 10:00 PM on March 16 (11:00 PM Japan Time). In short, this means prohibiting entry for “outsiders” (foreign nationals) and preventing “insiders” (Malaysian citizens) from leaving the country.
