Special SOPs for travellers from Singapore to Sabah

There are specific rules of entry for travellers originating from and transiting through the republic.

Travellers going to Sabah will no longer need to quarantine from tomorrow.
KOTA KINABALU:
Travellers from Singapore no longer need to take an RTK-Antigen (RTK-Ag) test on arrival in Sabah, state local government and housing minister Masidi Manjun said today.

However, he said those who were transiting through Singapore to enter Sabah would still need to take the RTK-Ag test upon arrival.

“Other travellers must show a negative result on a RT-PCR or RTK-Ag test done by qualified healthcare personnel two days before departure, prior to immigration clearance at any point of entry in Sabah,” he said in a statement on the latest SOPs applicable in Sabah for the border reopening tomorrow.

Showing the result from Covid-19 self-test kits is strictly not allowed.

Previously, Masidi announced that fully vaccinated Malaysians or foreigners going to Sabah would no longer need to quarantine from tomorrow.

Among the SOPs imposed on all travellers are that they must download, register and activate the MySejahtera application and complete a travel declaration that includes details of their vaccination.

Foreigners are also required to have both Covid-19 and travel insurance, and to state where they will be staying in Malaysia.
