Owners of premises like restaurants have been reminded to check the MySejahtera status of patrons before they are allowed entry.

This is so that high-risk individuals, including those who have tested positive for Covid, are not allowed in.

The Health Ministry also urged customers to cooperate, for the sake of everyone’s safety.

This comes following the recent announcement that starting tomorrow, we are no longer required to scan MySejahtera before entering premises.
