- Proof that they get infected with COVID-19 within the period of 11 to 60 days before they took off to Malaysia, through printed or digital laboratory test results.
- Travelers who have a history of hospitalization due to COVID-19 infection must submit a ‘Fit To Travel’ letter from the medical practitioner at the hospital concerned.
- Those who are not admitted to the hospital, need to undergo a professional RTK-Ag screening test 2 days before departure. Only allowed to take off if the screening test result is negative.
