PETALING JAYA: Many Malaysians were in favour of a move to extend the quarantine period to 21 days for those returning from India. Following the government's announcement that it was considering whether to extend the period from the normal 14 days to 21 days, many said authorities should not hesitate to do so as the measure could stunt the growing number of local cases. “Please quarantine for 21 days. The discovery affected all 92 adults and 40 children who were brought back from India on a special repatriation mission on May 12 who had to spend another week in quarantine instead of just 14 days. "The ministry will carry out an immediate risk evaluation to determine if the 14-day mandatory quarantine period of Malaysians arriving from India should be extended to 21 days," he said.
