Covid-19: Mata urges govt to suspend entry of tourists from China

The Malaysia Tourism Agency Association (Mata) has urged the government to temporarily suspend the entry of tourists from China into the country until the daily cases of Covid-19 in China decrease.

Mata president Mohd Khalid Harun (above) said the recent significant surge in the number of Covid-19 cases in China has increased the potential for new variants of the virus to emerge, thus causing concerns to Malaysians, especially tourism industry players.
