No plans to bar all Chinese nationals, only those from Hubei

JOHOR BARU (Bernama): The government is not planning to bar all Chinese nationals from visiting Malaysia, as there is no need for such action, so far, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The recently instituted ban only applied to those from Hubei province, including the city of Wuhan where the 2019 novel coronavirus was first detected in December last year, said the Home Affairs Minister on Tuesday .

Muhyiddin added that the ban was still in place and if there was new guidance from the Health Ministry, then action would be taken. Muhyiddin also said that the World Health Organization had not asked for a total ban on the entry of Chinese nationals into individual countries, even though the world body had declared the virus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern .
