“As a precautionary measure, we will not allow travellers from India, France, the US, South Africa and Brazil to enter Sabah,” he said in a statement today.

However, Sabahans and their children are allowed to return from these countries, but they have to undergo the mandatory 14-day isolation at gazetted quarantine centres, added Hajiji.
