Hi and thank your for your question.

According to our MOH protocol, self-quarantine is indicated for the following scenarios:

  • Close contact with positive cases, with or without symptoms.
  • Symptomatic with travel history to high risk countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Italy and Iran.
  • Symptomatic with history of close contact with people confirmed with COVID-19 infection.

Self-quarantine should also be an order from a doctor. This is because those that undergoes quarantine will be tested twice for the presence of COVID-19 virus in the blood stream.

You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.
