KUCHING, Aug 27: All travellers exiting Southern Region districts must now have the necessary police permits and negative Covid-19 test results verified by the Ministry of Health (KKM).

Appointments to be swabbed at health clinics can be made starting Monday (Aug 30) involving either test polymerase chain reaction (rT-PCR) or rapid test kit (RTK) antigen.
Phone numbers, operating hours, and addresses of the available health clinics in each district and sub-district can be found in the table below:
