SEPANGSabah passengers waiting to be screened for Covid-19 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) yesterday defied the three-hour wait in an organized manner, compared with up to six hours reported on Sunday.
A total of 50 people were separated into groups to undergo the tests, and health personnel gave them a clear explanation about the responsibilities of each individual, even when they are quarantined at home.
Angela Ng, 39, from Tenom, said the situation in the arrivals hall was organized while she waited for her turn to take the exam.
“The wait was not long, only three hours. Mandatory testing and quarantine are good to ensure there is no infection in the community and for everyone to comply with the SOP, ”said Ng, who returned to Sabah to vote.
Ng said the process may have been long yesterday due to the large number of passengers since it was Sunday, as many people rushed to get ready for work the next day.
The deputy director general of the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) Operations Implementation Sector, Zakaria Shaaban, said the high volume is expected in the arrivals hall this week after the end of the Sabah elections.
The Health Ministry’s decision to increase staff yesterday ensured a more fluid process, he said.
He estimated that some 4,400 people arrived yesterday from Sabah, involving 29 flights, 10 landing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and 19 at KLIA2.
Chief Health Officer Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah announced last Saturday that all arrivals from Sabah will be required to undergo a Covid-19 screening at international entry points from September 27 to October 10.Called
