Effective 15 September 2020, Malaysians who have exited the country are allowed to return to Malaysia without seeking prior approval from the Department of Immigration Malaysia. However, all individuals returning are required to undergo 14-day mandatory quarantine at dedicated quarantine centres upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and bear the cost of quarantine as determined by the Malaysian Ministry of Health.
A day before the United Kingdom, where Jasiminne Yip is based in London, went into a second lockdown, she made the decision to return home to Kuala Lumpur where the Covid-19 situation is being better handled. Quarantined individuals have the choice of being put up in a standard quarantine centre or a Premium Hotel. She opted for the latter.
This is her photo diary of what it’s like in premium quarantine. She has since completed her quarantine and tested negative for Covid-19.
