The compulsory Covid-19 screening tests at airports for returning Malaysians will be free for those who are either disabled or students, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Senior Minister (Defence) said that on Monday, adding that the exemption from paying for Covid-19 tests would also be extended civil servants returning from official duties overseas.

For the disabled, they will need to show their disability card from the Welfare Department (JKM) to authorities.

Ismail also said that only students returning from overseas for the first time would be eligible for the waiver, and they would need to submit evidence showing they were students.
