PUTRAJAYA: Those who want to be quarantined at five-star hotels will have to bear the cost themselves, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. He said even then, they can only choose to stay at hotels gazetted by the government. Responding to the issue which went viral on social media, Ismail Sabri explained why certain four and five-star hotels are gazetted as quarantine centres. For Malaysians who want to stay at five-star hotels during their quarantine period, they will have to fully bear the expenses, he added. To cater for the expected large number of returnees, the government had gazetted hundreds of premises and facilities including four and five-star hotels.
