According to Senior Minister for Security and Minister of Defence Dato' Sri Ismail Sabri bin Yaakob, Malaysians can now enter Sarawak without the need to get the approval from the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) or to take COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests prior to leaving for the state.
However, they have to follow the standard operating procedure (SOP). For example, they must download the MySejahtera app, COVID Trace Sarawak and Qmunity apps as well as to fill up the e-health declaration form.
Besides, PCR samples will be taken randomly on arrival at the state’s air, land and sea main entry points.

Actually, those under home quarantine should be isolated and eat in their room. They should not be walking about in the house and watch television in the guest hall as they can infect others.
