KUCHING (Jan 26): Sarawakians or their spouses and family members who are returning from abroad and transiting in Peninsular Malaysia can now arrange for their mandatory quarantine via the state disaster management committee’s (SDMC) enterHotel webpage.

This is only applicable for Sarawakians or their spouses and family members who are required to undergo mandatory quarantine at the first point of entry which are KLIA or KLIA2.

For non-Sarawakians, including long-term pass holders, they are required to undergo mandatory quarantine at the first point of entry in Malaysia, which are KLIA or KLIA2, at their own arrangement.

The quarantine period for those who are fully vaccinated and have received their booster dose is five days, while those fully vaccinated without booster is seven days.
