Wan Azizah says the Immigration Department will impose travel bans once the Chinese gov't declares a province to be under lockdown.

Malaysia is extending its travel restrictions on travellers from China to include other areas that are under lockdown by the Chinese government, said Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

She said the decision takes account of the fact that there have been 27,636 cases of the novel coronavirus reported worldwide with 564 deaths, including 14 cases of 2019-nCoV infection in Malaysia. Sabah and Sarawak, meanwhile, had imposed a ban on visitors from China including foreigners who had visited China in the preceding 14 days.

Other cities soon followed suit, including Hangzhou, Leqing, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Linyi, Harbin, Fuzhou and Nanjing. They would be required to report to the nearest clinic or hospital of they show symptoms such as coughs, fever, shortness of breath and other ailments.

Prevention is better than cure and they should temporarily ban all inbound from China.

drwanazizah looking for cheap publicity. People are not stupid.

Sarawak Gov better. All from China. Banned. Atok punya admin slow lah

I believe Msia can’t stay reactive & a step behind fast changing developments in China. The outbreak has become pandemic affecting all of China & it’s becoming evident the Chinese Govt have lost control. The Msian Govt must ban all travelers fr China, HK & Macao immediately.
