Recently, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has released a total of 12 standard operating procedures (SOP) for all the Ministers who will be traveling abroad. It got released right after Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Adham Baba’s announcement that Ministers only need to quarantine for three days after returning from overseas trips.
The list of SOP’s has been posted on MOH’s official Facebook page. Below is the list:
- The visit must be an official affair.
- The schedule of events must be brief.
- Ministers must only be accompanied by a small group of delegates who must undergo the Covid-19 test.
- Ministers must not have any symptoms.
- Ministers must test negative for Covid-19 48 hours before departure.
- Ministers must use a special working airplane instead of a commercial airplane, to create a ‘travel bubble’.
- It is mandatory for Ministers to undergo a test as soon as they arrive at the airport.
- Only Ministers who test negative for Covid-19 will be taken directly to the hotel accommodation.
- Ministers are not allowed to travel alone or go to places other than official places.
- Ministers will only be allowed in the living room.
- Ministers must wear a face mask at all times while at the official places of visit.
