Three-day ruling for returning ministers only allowed if certain conditions met: Health DG

PETALING JAYA: Cabinet Ministers returning from official trips overseas only qualify for the three-day observation period if they meet certain conditions, says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

"Before they depart, they would need to submit an application to the Cabinet and once that is approved, we will look at the official business listed in their schedule as well as standard operating procedure," he said, adding that a risk assessment is conducted once the minister's application and travel itinerary are submitted.
