PETALING JAYA – Malaysia and Singapore will be implementing “reciprocal arrangements” to transfer symptomatic travellers detected at the entry points of each other’s country to help curb the spread of Covid-19.
The Malaysia-Singapore Joint Working Group (JWG), in its second meeting on Tuesday, said it agreed to continue the existing temperature screening procedures, and land and sea checkpoints.
The JWG meeting, which was held via video conferencing, saw both countries exchanging updates on the Covid-19 situation.
They also shared existing temperature screening procedures at land and sea check points, and discussed a set of protocols for the transfer of symptomatic travellers between Malaysia and Singapore.
“The JWG agreed to continue entry screenings by both countries, align temperature screening protocols by applying the same temperature cut off (>37.5 deg C) for febrile travellers, and implement reciprocal arrangements for the transfer of symptomatic travellers detected at entry screening back across land and sea checkpoints.
