Umrah trips on hold from Jan 8


PETALING JAYA: Umrah trips to Saudi Arabia will be suspended from Jan 8 following a surge in Covid-19 cases among returnees and concerns over the highly infectious Omicron variant. Those returning from umrah to Malaysia will also have to serve their quarantine at designated stations or hotels earmarked by the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) from tomorrow.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said those who had already made arrangements to go for umrah, including having paid for their packages, would be refunded or have their travel rescheduled following the suspension.
