Its minister Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi said the committee would monitor the development of the issue at hand and tasked to provide advice and information to all tourists, which include stressing on the importance of personal hygiene as recommended by the Health Ministry.
"The committee will also come up with plans to find new markets to cushion the impact especially from China that is greatly affected by the coronovirus outbreak," he said in a statement. This would include allowing airlines to conduct inspection on all passengers who boarded their aircraft, he said.
