S’poreans With Fever May Be Banned From Entering Johor Via Causeway Or Second Link

Singaporeans Showing Signs Of Fever Will Get “Not To Land” Notice From Johor Immigration

Earlier this week, Singapore introduced extra measures against visitors showing signs of Covid-19.

Turns out, we’re not the only ones in the region to step up precautionary measures as the number of Covid-19 cases surge around the world.

On Saturday (7 Mar), Malaysian news site The Star reported that Singaporeans with a fever may be banned from entering Johor Bahru (JB).

This came just 1 day after Malaysia reported 28 new Covid-19 cases on Friday (6 Mar).

Singaporean with fever may receive “Not to Land Notice” when entering Johor

According to Johor Health Director Dr Aman Rabu, Singaporeans entering Johor may be given a “Not to Land Notice” (NTL) if they are having a fever.

Immigration officers have conducted temperature checks at international entry points like the Causeway or Second Link following the Covid-19 outbreak, reports The Star.

Visitors with high-temperature readings will be brought to a clinic for further screening.

 

Those suspected of having Covid-19 will be conveyed to a hospital,

If the person is suspected to have the potential of carrying Covid-19 or have been infected by the virus, they will be referred to the isolation ward in Permai Hospital.

No Singaporean have apparently received an NTL to date.

Travellers from severely affected areas such as Daegu, Cheongdo, and Hubei, however, will be issued NTLs.

Malaysia now has 83 Covid-19 patients, and a whopping 28 of them were reported yesterday (6 Mar).

This might be for the better

While getting banned from entering JB might not sound ideal, perhaps this might be for the better.

After all, anyone showing symptoms related to Covid-19 should stay home and avoid any social gatherings, as advised by the Health Ministry.
