The Covid-19 outbreak is seeing more and more cases every day, especially here in Malaysia, which has pushed our government to take what they believe, is effective action to prevent more cases.
Malaysia is now imposing a travel ban on foreign nationals from specific countries, as announced on the Ministry of Health Malaysia’s official Twitter page.
The Government has imposed a complete travel ban on all Italians, Iranians, South Koreans and other foreigners arriving from the country from entering Malaysia or transit at any points of entry effective March 13. – Minister of Health, YB Dato' Sri Dr Adham Baba.

This means that not only Italians, Iranians and South Koreans are banned from entering Malaysia, but anyone and everyone who is coming from those selected countries as well.
This comes right before Malaysia announced another 20 new Covid-19 cases, bringing the total cases in Malaysia to 149.
TERKINI: 20 lagi kes baru #COVIDー19 dilaporkan di Malaysia, 11 Mac.
Ini menjadikan 149 kes keseluruhan setakat ini.
Pesakit kes ke-78 pula telah sembuh menjadikan 26 kes sembuh dan discaj hospital.
Kenyataan penuh KKM menyusul.

The 78th patient, on the other hand, has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, which means there are now 26 recovered cases. The Ministry of Health Malaysia’s full statement will follow.”
More and more new cases are being reported every day in Malaysia but fortunately, there are no Malaysian patients that have died from the virus.
Let’s hope that with the new travel ban lessens the drastic incline in cases.
