PUTRAJAYA: All ministers who are on holiday abroad and have been ordered to return home immediately are still subject to the quarantine order as stipulated, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
“For now, they must undergo quarantine. It is very important to be vigilant and careful in this matter and this matter (quarantine) still applies,“ he told a press conference here, today.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said Cabinet ministers who are on leave and planning to go on holiday had been instructed to cancel their plans until the flood disaster in the country is resolved.
He said all ministers currently abroad have also been ordered to return home immediately.
On the claim that Hulu Langat MP Datuk Hasanuddin Mohd Yunus breached the quarantine order, Khairy said the Ministry of Health (MOH) was investigating the matter. -Bernama
