State tourism, women, family and community development committee chairman Liow Cai Tung, who disclosed this, said the ruling also covered Malaysians returning from China. She said the decision was made following a meeting between the Johor Health Department, Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry and the Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association. “Once they arrive in Johor through our 12 checkpoints, they are required to go through another health screening. “That is why it is important for the authorities here to conduct health screening on every traveller coming from China, ” she said. State Health and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk Frankie Poon said efforts were being taken to prevent the spread of this virus to Sabah.
