KOTA KINABALU – All foreign tourists entering Sabah no longer need to undergo a pre-entry Covid-19 test and present a vaccination certificate, said Deputy Chief Minister II Datuk Seri Joachim Gunsalam.
He said the Sabah cabinet yesterday made the decision to fully standardise the procedure for entry of foreign tourists to the state with that at the federal level.
“The cabinet (Sabah government) today decided that the entry procedure for all foreign tourists to Sabah is now fully standardised with the policy set by the Health Ministry.
“Therefore, all foreign tourists do not need to undergo a pre-entry Covid-19 screening test and will not need to present a vaccination certificate when entering Sabah,” he said in a statement last night.
Previously, the state government decided that effective January 8, travellers from China entering the state must submit a negative Covid-19 test and show proof of complete vaccinations. – Bernama, January 19, 2023
